The lower part depicts a right hand in grey tones over a yellow background holding the handle of a sword. The lower part of the sword is also depicted in this lower portion. The depiction of the sword continues into the upper portion above, the background of which includes flames in primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. Behind the pointed edge of the sword is the shape of a pink-grey brain-shaped cloud.
