DescriptionLeft is a deep royal blue background with a rabbit sticking out its tongue and an owl holding a flyswatter, focused on three Portuguese ships floating above dangling a plastic six-pack holder. On the right is a deep magenta background with a deer laying down looking to the left. An owl stands on the deer's back, removing the six-pack holder containing the same ship featured on the right. A white banded pattern separates the sides down the center middle.
