Top-down line drawing of a rectangular PCB outline with a row of circular switch-mounting holes along its upper edge, drawn in 2px warm-grey stroke on a warm-paper background. Beside one switch position, two thin curved slots are routed through the board material, framing a narrow tongue of PCB between them. That tongue and the gap between the slot ends are picked out in a single muted-terracotta splash. A small warm-bronze dot sits in the upper-right margin.
