The artwork depicts 5 creatures standing atop one another, surrounded by two mustard tendrils extending upwards from a mustard base. The creatures are situated above the base. The bottom-most creatures are green and serpent-like with plant-like fronds extending out to either side of them. Similar fronds are protruding from their mouths / beaks. Standing on these creatures are what appears to be two geese that are a slightly darker green. Their necks are hunched over, and they are leaning out towards the sides, their beaks meeting their feet. The top creature is a bird, whose body is done in dark blue, but has mustard feathers on its head. This birds wings are outstretched to either side of it, and its beak is open. The aforementioned yellow tendrils that encircle the creatures stop beside the tops of the birds wings, the ends are forked and decorated with 3 yellow circles.
