The cover image of the 90125 album by Yes: a circle divided into three equal parts, with a dark blue third on top bearing the album title in white, and the others reddish-purple (magenta? fuschia? I'm not good with colors) and yellow. A light-blue border surrounds the circle, except at the top, and extends down a bit from the bottom, suggesting a Y.

I'm really torn up about missing the big Yes holiday on Monday. (h/t @linernotes.bsky.social)
