Accented in yellow is a graphic of the Co-op's mascot, Inkling (an inkwell) is holding Nibford (a dip pen) above their head, using Nibford to write out a giant bank check to the Cartoonist Co-op. Nibford looks amazed as Inkling concentrates. It's drawn by Aster Fialla. There is also a QR code in yellow.
