About BOPE

A stylized yellow dagger runs vertically behind the skull (blade up, handle visible below the skull), and two yellow handguns are crossed behind the skull at roughly diagonal angles, forming a three-weapon emblem.
The entire emblem sits inside a thick red ring that forms the outer border. Graphic details (black eye sockets, nasal cavity, and mouth lines) are rendered as high-contrast black strokes on the white skull; the weapons are flat yellow shapes with minimal line detail.
