Below the towers is a digitally rendered image of an irregularly shaped building whose roof ascends and descends at sharp angles, reminiscent of the top of a crown. Some sides of the building feature concentric circles and squares. A gold symbol is repeated in the center of each circle. A man dressed in brown athletic wear is superimposed on the image of the building. Bending backwards, he looks ahead as he stretches his proper right arm above him and his proper left arm beneath him. Mully is printed on his sweater and joggers in white uppercase letters.
