Why this image
I chose a lab bench of sample vials under a glowing network dome because the heart of this package is a new lab that applies AI to spotting biological threats. Objects instead of people keep it neutral and avoid depicting any minister, and the lack of logos or crests keeps any company or government from looking endorsed.

Editorial illustration in a flat, muted risograph print style: a clean modern laboratory bench seen from the side, holding a row of glass sample vials and a petri dish, with a softly glowing abstract neural network of connected dots and lines rising from the vials and forming a protective dome shape over the bench. A small simple shield shape made of light sits at the dome's peak. Deep teal, warm amber and charcoal palette on an off-white background. No people, no faces, no hands, no flags, no crests, no logos, no seals, no text, letters or numbers anywhere. Wide 16:9 composition.
