Protest-style image with a yellow-orange background and bold black border. A rough black crown filled with colorful candies—peppermints, gummies, and jelly beans—is crossed out by a red “X.” Below it, large black text reads: “NO KINGS.” The design echoes a protest sign, blending sweetness and defiance in the message against authoritarianism.

A bright candy serpent bites its own tail, forming a circle beneath a golden crown — symbol of indulgent power feeding on itself.
