Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.
Script
Characters
Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
People pulling in the same direction. Chinese says it as one heart rather than as a process.
Before you commit
Choose with careThere is no single character for teamwork. 同心 is about shared intent, not about coordinated work, so it says the spirit of teamwork rather than the practice of it.
At small sizesSix strokes plus four, both light and open. This pair survives small sizes and curved placements very well.
Cultural note同心協力, of one heart and combining strength, is the settled four-character phrase for teamwork and the one a Chinese reader expects to see.
Meaning
Of one heart; united in purpose.
The classical and still current way to say a group is working as one.
Other characters for “teamwork”
What to do next
Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
