Three personifications of the libraries are depicted. On the left, Cabot science library is depicted, wearing a crimson shirt with an H in the middle. The center character is wearing a stained shirt and messy hair, depicting Lamont Library. The final library, Widener, is depicted as a person with short hair and wearing neutral tones. There is a tri-color background made up of different shades of brown and grey.
