Four rows of identical pixel art characters appear on a gray background. Each character wears a silver helmet and yellow shirt, standing behind a black, smoke-filled landscape with small orange-red embers. The word "Taliban" is written in white lowercase letters beneath each character. Top row shows full four-character sequence; second row repeats same pattern; third row contains two characters on left side only.
