I think a non-parody image of an actual escort mission would work. Maybe this
◊ from Paper Mario: Sticker Star?
1.1 is basically just a wordier version of the current. 1.2 isn't an Escort Mission, if anything that would fit on a Herding Mission page, but we don't seem to have a trope for that yet.
3 is the best out of the suggestions, but I have no real problem with the current.

As
said, neither of 1 is good. I don't like 3 either, it's basically Talking Heads.
3. Aside from the issues with the others that have already been discussed, I'd prefer a more neutral pic that doesn't carry the connotation of Artificial Stupidity being inherent to the trope. Tropes Are Tools and all that.
That's fair, however, I feel it's worth mentioning that the vast majority of Escort Missions do have Artificial Stupidity in play. There's a reason they're so derided and you don't see them as often these days, and I feel a pic illustrating that is harmless.
If we do go with 3, it needs a quality upgrade.
Maybe move the current to Artificial Stupidity, which is imageless?

Keet cleanup
For moving. 7 people including 2 mods is def enough concensus for me. I've moved the image and tagged both pages.
Former Image (for Escort Mission):

The image shows Artificial Stupidity and/or Leeroy Jenkins, which are different tropes. Nothing about the image shows that either stick figure is escorting the other. A possible example
, or maybe that
◊.
