Fantasy graphic showing two hands with outstretched index fingers that touch at their fingertips. The hand on the left appears to be made of fire, and the hand on the right is in shades of blue and white as if made of water or perhaps ice. Where the index fingertips meet, there is a small bright white flash, from which plumes of steam rise up.

The caption below, in Armenian script, reads "hur ev jur", which is Armenian for "fire and water". I have highlighted the word "hur".
