The lines are created with bars of blue, white, red, and black; these same colors are presented in biomorphic shapes reminiscent of natural organisms behind the letters, in four main shapes against a white background. The dates, listed in blue as “27.-31.8.2014,” appears vertically on the bottom left corner (to be read with one’s head tilted to the left). The website URL “jazzfestivalwilsau.ch” is printed in red capital letters on the lower right corner.

Along the top are folder tabs, marked 1. Power Up,' '2. Warning,' and '3. Feed the Bot' in red lettering against an yellow background, and and '4. Power Down' in red against a white background. In the red box on the right are stacked black rectangles on top of two circles arranged side-by-side at the bottom, forming a robotic shape. The bottom rectangle is taller than it is wide, and is filled with arranged icons of white bottles and cups; the horizontal rectangle immediate above contains white vertical lines. The next rectangle above, and the two square on top together form a downcast facial expression of sorts, with a thick horizontal white line forming the lips and two mirroring half circles angled inward to form eyes. In the blue box on the top left are instructions to 'Mix three sounds for Trash Bot to play when powering down.' This is followed by three options: 'Choose Melody,' 'Choose an Ambiance,' and 'Choose an Effect,' each followed by a circle containing 'A' or 'B.' The last line, 'Choose an Effect,' is marked with an orange 'B' and a red circle with a white 'X' to its right. The yellow box on the bottom left is titled 'Sound Mix' in red letters, with a blue arrow marked 'play' to the left of a blue circle marked 'submit.'
