Mark description
The mark consists of the stylized word "BIC" appearing in black which is featured in a quadrilateral with two curved sides framed in black and with an orange interior. There is a stylized human figure to the left of the quadrilateral that is outlined in black, has a black tie, and appears wearing an orange top, shorts, socks and shoes, with white legs having black dots. The head of the stylized human figure appears as a shaded black sphere with white highlight. The stylized human figure is holding a black pen behind his back. To the right of the quadrilateral is a flame in orange and black above a black horizontal line having a break. All of the foregoing is above the black stylized wording "LIGHT THE CHANGE". A black horizontal line appears to the left of the stylized person's feet, and a black diagonal line is below the wording "LIGHT THE CHANGE".
