Stanley Kubrick's timeless masterpiece of science fiction and supreme audio-visual storytelling, 2001: A Space Odyssey, turns 50 this month. Thus, I would like to take today's column as a gallery, to outlay about a dozen posters, from official studio released posters, to key art from other countries, as well as fan-made and minimalist designs, for your viewing pleasure.

A movie that has so many iconic moments and images, has also generated a wellspring of wonderful pieces of wall-art over the decades. Click through the gallery below to see all the posters.

The Classic UK QUAD poster was shrunk and matted to fit into the standard USA design.

Polish Design 1

Trippy 70s tie-dye design. Designer Unknown.

Classic, if unsettling, and quite spoiler-ific, Studio Design from 1968. (Also, rumoured to be the design that Nic Cage hung on his wall).

Fan Poster by Daniel K. Norris

A Minimalist Design featuring the Monolith, the Gravity/Fitness centre of the Jupiter Mission Spacecraft, and the eye-module of HAL9000.

Designer Unknown.

Polish Design 2

An almost biblical motif by Bottleneck Gallery's Karl Fitzgerald.

Fan Poster. Designer Unknown.

British Lobby Card, but blown up would make a damn fine poster.

Stained Glass design. Many people, myself included, consider this film as much a religious experience as anything. Designer Unknown.

Desktop Wallpaper. Designer Unknown.

Another Minimalist poster. Designer Unknown.

This is so simple, so iconic, it is just perfect. Designer Unknown.

Fan Poster found on Pinterest. Designer Unknown.
