A Picasso Blue Period–style cubist landscape (1200×628) in cool blues with subtle warm accents. Symbolic elements: a political chessboard motif for airlines’ political logic; an open microphone or transcript lines for SABR’s earnings call; a money press rolling Amadeus profit blocks; a sleek eVTOL silhouette emerging from urban grid; diverging and converging channels for AI-distribution independents; and a stylised compass or globe icon overlaid by measurement markers for wanderlust. No text, no logos, and at most two subtle brand-color cues integrated into the art.
