Take a look here:

and look at this tarball:

Don`t use any Artwork you don`t have license for! Maybe you`ll ask the
Musiclabel...

Ok, here is my idea I`ve had as Joerg pointed me to some Graphics. My
intention was to take this [1] hand mirroring it so there is a pair of
Hands and place the following things on them. On the left I would put
the Swirl and on the right hand I would put some Sign for Freedom (maybe
a Dove). Above the two hands should be place for a slogan like this:
"Remember, all you get is real free..."
