Stylised illustration of a tea stall — Vijay stands centre behind his counter, looking up at a four-rung wooden ladder leaning against the back wall. Each rung is capped in a different colour and chalked with a level name (bottom-up: Nominal in earthy brown, Ordinal in gold, Interval in blue, Ratio in green). On the far left a sibling in earthy brown holds up a basket of name-cards labelled m / g / p / l. To the inner left a sibling in gold holds three rosette ribbons numbered 1, 2, 3. To the inner right a sibling in blue holds a small red-bulb thermometer marked °C. On the far right a sibling in green holds a kitchen scale with a 0 prominent on its dial.
