Other than that there's not much on it. Other than a slug, what do you think it could be replaced with?

Coats already on.... But seriously.  Something like a picture of the Staffordshire knot with Tux slightly to the right of centre and in front of it but about 2/3rds the size of the knot itself.  Blue background, the knot in a golden yellow and Tux as....well, Tux. --
