In the lower left corner is a cut out photograph of a young adult with long brown hair, turned to their left and smiling, with their right hand held out in the shape of half a heart.

In the background is a map of Michigan, with the word “Albion” above the head of the person to the left, and the words “Ann Arbor” above the head of the person to the right. Red GPS markers are imposed next to both of the cities, and a squiggly red line with a heart in the middle connects them.
