A pink curved line runs along the left and bottom sides of the letter. Inside the letter "B" is a blue circle outlined in gold with white swirls. Inside the blue circle is a gold circle. A person with long blonde hair and a brown robe sits in front of the gold circle. The person has a neutral expression on their face. Behind the person are green wings.
