"Happy" is spray painted in gold cursive script at the top of the banner. Below "Happy," "Yule" is spray painted in gold cursive script. Beneath that "Log" is spray painted in gold cursive script. "VeA" is painted in black to the right of "Yule." Below "VeA" and to the right of "Log" the Wren Building is depicted. It has a purple outline with two windows also outlined in purple. The inside of the outline is filled with gold paint with three large green spray paint stains. "18" is painted in black on the inside of the first window, and "32" is painted in black on the inside of the second window. There are two 2.5in. slits at the top on the left and right of the banner where gold ribbons have been place to hold up the banner when it was hung in the Wren Courtyard. The banner is in good condition. It measures approximately 5ft. 5.5in (length) x3ft.10in. (width). There is a smattering of green spray paint stains to the left and across the "H" in "Happy." There are also spontaneous smatterings of green spray paint stains to the right of "Yule" and "Log" and above and to the right of the depiction of the Wren Building. Gift of the Wren Society.
