A white sign with black lines that has the star (filled in with red) & bear from the CA state flag with the words "California Republic" below that in chunky black bubble letters. Below that it says "Don't tread on us." (which the flag does not have) in bold black letters. Very faintly through the whole sign you can see the reverse of a scientific poster with protein crystal structures.
