Four identical blue square panels arranged in a 2x2 grid. Each panel has a light blue background with white pixelated text. The text reads "jared", "jacob", "conner", "tim", and "bst frinds" in that order. The panels are bordered by a dark blue frame. The text is rendered in a low-resolution, pixelated style typical of early digital graphics. The panels are identical across all four positions.
