Galactic Hand Towels

These Hand Towels are Decorated with a Special Star Trek Design

Elizabeth Dean created these geeky hand towels that are decorated with a special Star Trek design.

Available at her online Etsy store, Dean offers a number of pop nerd culture-inspired items, including this set of themed hand towels that feature the Star Trek insignia embroidered onto each one. These Star Trek design towels are made from a 100 percent cotton material, are each highly absorbent and come available in three different colors that cleverly reference the classic television show including 'Security Red,' 'Commander Yellow' and finally, 'Science Blue.'

If you actually prefer Caption Picard over Commander Kirk, then don't worry because the shop also offers hand towels decorated with the updated insignia design from Stark Trek: The Next Generation.
