A flat, pentagonal shield-shaped badge in warm orange tones with a slightly lighter vertical panel on the right. Centered on the shield is a large, white, geometric and stylized numeral “5” that overlaps the two orange tones and leaves a pointed bottom on the shield.
The design is minimalist and vector-like: no additional text, fine detail or gradients beyond the two-tone orange and a small darker outline at the shield’s lower edge. Overall it reads as a compact badge or emblem emphasizing the white '5' against an orange shield background.
