Description

A man sails in a small boat with the word "DIPLOMA" written on its sail and a pirate flag on top. He is brandishing a sword and possibly chasing a second, larger ship in the middle with "The World" written on its sails. The sun is barely visible on the horizon, peeking up from the water and its ray's spread across the image.
