Stylized flat-illustration of five faceless figures arranged in a row against a deep blue background, each holding a smartphone up in front of their chest with both hands. Wi-Fi signal arcs radiate upward from each figure's head, with the central, largest figure emitting the biggest signal. The figures wear solid block-color robes — mustard yellow, mauve, white, rust red and dark teal from left to right — and have featureless dark navy heads. The composition is symmetrical, with the tallest figure in the center and smaller figures stepping down on either side. The overall effect evokes mass connectivity, surveillance or broadcast.
