Inside a black box, cartoon people -- drawn in black lines -- move along the ground, with frantic lines surrounding them to indiciate motion. Some appear to be crawling, others jumping. Some, if not all, are quite possibly dancing. The monkeys in the trees appear to be moving with similar kinds of gestures and are also flanked by lines that indicate motion. Above the scene reads 'Secret Pastures' in red font. Outside of the black box on the right side is a list of information featuring all of the artists associated with the event.
