The image is a dark purple background with small white and yellow stars. A large, stylized flashlight shines a beam of light from the top right, illuminating the center of the image. The acronym TORCH is spelled out vertically in bold, yellow letters. Each letter is followed by a word or phrase in large, white, bold text. The text reads: TIMER ORACLES RISKS CONSIDERED QUESTIONS HEURISTICS A small, cartoon-like insect with big eyes and a few legs is seen in the top right, and another, similar insect with a flashlight is in the bottom left. The bottom right corner has a logo that reads "MOTAVERSE."

A dark photo taken at night shows a calm body of water with a pier extending into it on the left. The pier is brightly lit, creating a long reflection on the water's surface. A bright moon is visible in the sky above the pier. In the foreground, a low, rocky wall runs along the bottom of the frame. The words "See you next time!" are written in a large, elegant script in the upper-middle of the image. The photo is bordered by a dark purple frame with small, white stars scattered across it. A bug, a duck and a seagull have been hidden in the photo.

A photograph taken inside an empty theatre, looking towards the stage. Two video cameras on tripods are set up in the foreground. The theatre seats are red, and the walls are also a deep red colour, with ornate detailing and decorative columns. The lighting is dim, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere.

A photograph shows a large group of people gathered in a spacious, high-ceilinged room with exposed brick pillars. The room has a modern, industrial feel, and is lit by warm, ambient lighting from several unique, spherical light fixtures hanging from the ceiling. A large crowd of people, many holding drinks, are mingling and talking in small groups. Some are wearing lanyards with what appears to be a conference or event logo. In the foreground, people are seen from the chest up, some with their backs to the camera, while in the background, a stage setup with what looks like a screen is visible. The atmosphere appears social and lively. A cartoon bug with large eyes and antennae is superimposed on the bottom of the image, appearing as if it's on the floor looking up at the people. There is also a cartoon seagull and duck in the image.

A medium shot captures three adults in what appears to be the inside of a pub/bar. In the foreground, a man with glasses and a patterned shirt is seated on the left, looking off-camera to the left with a smile or laugh. Next to him, a woman with dark hair and a striped sweater is seated, smiling broadly directly at the viewer. In the background, another woman with lighter, curly hair and a dark jacket stands in a doorway, looking towards the man. The setting features dark walls, some vibrant abstract art, and a yellow surfboard leaning against a wall in the background. A bug, a seagull and a duck character have been added to the photo.

A Crowdcast webinar meeting screen capture shows four participants in a video conference call, with a poll displayed in the center. The poll asks, "Which team's insights on when and where quality coaching is most effective resonate most with your team's context?" with two options: "AVIVA (AJ Wilson)" and "CO-OP (Clare Norman & Shweta Jaju)". The meeting is for "The Testing Planet" and participants are instructed to join the poll at Slido.com using the event code #TTP-Ep10. A QR code is also provided for joining the poll. Chat messages are visible on the right side of the screen, including a countdown from 10 to 0 and a message stating "A draw of brilliance and knowledge". The bottom of the screen shows a row of profile icons for other participants, and a prompt to "Say something nice". A "Have you got an MoT Profile yet?" button is also visible.
