Pixelated 8-bit style icon with two humanoid figures. Left figure is solid blue with rounded head, rectangular body, and straight limbs; it holds a small black object in its right hand. Right figure is solid red with rounded head, rectangular body, and straight limbs; its right arm extends toward the blue figure's head. Both figures have no facial features. Below the figures, there is red pixelated text that appears to read "FREELANCE" but is partially obscured and distorted. The background is white. The image has a low-resolution, blocky appearance typical of early digital graphics.
