    Description

    On green background, presumably grass, a close-up of an ice-cream cone, melting in the sun, in checkered brown for the waffle, and white and pink for the piled scoops. Three fingers of the hand holding the ice-cream are shown; presumably, it is a child's hand with closely-cropped fingernails. Interspersed among the chocolate sprinkles are the letters for "herman miller summer picnic july 30, 1983".
