Draped over the eagle is a ribbon with the words "Don't Give Up The Ship" written in blue letters outlined in red. The ribbon is decorated with blue and red stars on the edges. The minimalistic background emphasizes the eagle and the ribbon. The eagle is depicted with a classical design, giving it a sense of dignity and strength.
