A giant hand with thumb extended after a coin-toss. A coin hovers over it, radiating lines of light, showing the Firefox logo. Standing on the hand’s wrist is a cartoon mascot figure in the four colors of the Google logo, with a poop emoji head. To the left, a suited figure works at a large control panel.
