/images/homepage/fau-r1-banner-large.jpgThe image features a collage of colorful tiles on the left side, while the right side transitions to a grayscale version of the same pattern. In the colorful section, a prominent blue rectangle contains the text 'R1' in bold white letters. Surrounding the text are various icons representing different fields of a university. These include symbols like a lightbulb, graduation cap, microscope, turtle, pencil, and flask, among others. The tiles come in red, blue, gray, and white, arranged in a grid pattern. Each icon symbolizes a specific area, such as education, science, or art. The right side mirrors these tiles but in a muted grayscale palette, fading into the background.
