A New Era Begins on 7 October

A deep maroon graphic with a curling red satin ribbon running down the left edge. Large white lettering at the top reads 7 October. Below it, a red panel wrapped with a red satin ribbon tied in a bow, like a gift, carries the message: Those who signup will get the first look at the exciting news to be unveiled. A label on the ribbon band reads The signup waitlist.
