- The letters and the outline of the shield featured a slightly muted shade of yellow, while the background was dark green.
- Also, the shield shape had two additional outlines.
- The outer one was black, while the one that could be seen from the inside featured a darker shade of green creating an effect of a shadow.
- The overall design remained almost unchanged, yet there was a noticeable shift in the color palette, especially regarding the shade of green.
- Also, the shadow was removed both from the letters and the shield shape.
- The black outline was replaced by a dark green one.
