Labels instead of coefficients: A label bracket [.](L) which dominates the Jones polynomial X(.), the Kuperberg bracket vertical bar.>(A2), and the normalized arrow polynomial W[.]

In the present paper, we develop a picture formalism which gives rise to an invariant that dominates several known invariants of classical and virtual knots: the Jones polynomial X(.), the Kuperberg bracket vertical bar.>(A2), and the normalized arrow polynomial W[.].
