Two figures are shown from the knees up, standing side by side. The man on the left looks up to the left while holding a large tool, and the woman on the right looks forward with her face slightly tilted up. The man wears a cap, a blue long-sleeve shirt, and a work apron. The woman has a bob haircut, wears protective goggles, an orange long-sleeve shirt, and a work apron, and holds a welding torch. In the background, there are silhouettes of flying aircraft in the sky and rows of guns at the bottom.
