The trade mark is a motion trade mark consisting of 10 figures showing the state of change of the mark over time. The small number indicated at the lower right corner of each figure represents the order of the figures and is not a part of the trade mark. The motion mark consists of nine square boxes arranged in a 3×3 grid, with the nine squares transitioning through the following motions: the sequence begins with the original arrangement of nine squares with the square in the top right corner displayed larger than the other squares (as shown in Figure 1); the square in the top right corner reduces in size so that all nine squares become identical in size (as shown in Figure 2); the squares within the left and right columns move downward by one square while those in the middle column move upward by one square, and new squares appear in their place (as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4); the nine squares return to the 3×3 grid arrangement (as shown in Figure 5); the squares surrounding the middle square then rotate anticlockwise by one square while the middle square remains in place (as shown in Figure 6); the top left square then remains in place while the remaining squares rotate anticlockwise by one square in the remaining space (as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8); the squares return to the 3x3 grid arrangement (as shown in Figure 9); the top right square then enlarges so that the mark returns to its original position (as shown in Figure 10). The sequence begins and ends with the original arrangement of nine squares in a 3×3 grid with the square in the top right corner displayed larger than the other squares. This entire motion trade mark lasts approximately 2 seconds.

The mark contains the colours blue and purple.
