A 19th century posed photo of a campus secret society at the University of Illinois. A collection of middle-aged men and women in formal dress stand in two ranks, holding tall spears and wearing elaborate fezzes emblazoned with five-pointed stars. They are framed by a proscenium. The photo has been modified to put an Apple 'Think Different' wordmark behind them.

This one is in the running to be my favorite illo of the year. I knew it was going to slay the minute I found the image of the U Illinois campus secret society (spears! fezzes!). There's a really good public domain SVG recreation of the "Think Different" wordmark on Wikimedia Commons that I used here, spending some time getting the overlays and textures right:
