A simple green figure reaches out with one hand towards a colorful abstract brain, which is comprised of pink, yellow, and blue sections. The figure's other arm remains relaxed at its side. Surrounding this central imagery is a circular black outline, framing the composition. The text "The Brain & Body Coalition" is positioned below the figures, with "www.brainandbodycoalition.org" and "(845) 293-2929" presented at the bottom, rendered in a playful font that complements the visual elements above.
