    Description

    Au centre, une route blanche avance jusqu’à l’horizon dominé par un ciel clair. Le tout est entouré d’une double bordure mauve et bleue. En haut à gauche, la mer est figurée par des vagues turquoises, alors qu’à droite le rouge symbolise le feu. Au centre une fine croix blanche. En bas au centre, un crâne sort de terre.
