A giant set of balance scales. One scale's platform bears a US flag motif, and atop it stands a mustachioed guerrilla fighter with an impressive hat, bandoleers, and a rifle. On the other scale is an EU flag, atop which stands a muscle-bound male figure standing at rigid attention. Behind them is a 'code waterfall' as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies. Looming over the scene is an impatient-looking man in a grey suit; in one hand he holds a sheaf of papers; he is staring intently at his watch.
