The poster is executed in a simple yet expressive style with a dominant green background. In the center, a bright orange sword depiction is visible, its hilt black with crosswise lines, and the blade distinctly sharp and straight. At the end of the sword on the hilt, a red circle with a white star is placed, inside of which a sickle and hammer are visible. In the upper left and right corners, yellow inscriptions with thick, simple letter lines are placed respectively. The sword's blade partially covers a black triangle shape located in the lower left corner of the poster. The entire image is geometric and distinctly contrasting.
