A bold blue background with orange headline text: “CONSENT IS ONGOING.” Below, white text explains that consent isn’t a one-time “yes” but a continuous, evolving conversation. It emphasises checking in before, during, and after play, and notes that participants like pups may enter subspace and miss subtle cues. It encourages using clear communication tools and alternatives like hand signals or tactile cues when speech is limited. On the left side, there are three vertical blocks in red, green, and yellow with the letters "y," "e," and "s" written in black, resembling children's letter cards. At the bottom, a yellow lightbulb icon accompanies a blue-text tip: “Ask: ‘How do you want me to check in with you mid-scene?’”

Between and around the banners are decorative elements including blooming red roses, delicate branches with pink and blue buds, and whimsical purple mushrooms.
