The image depicts a festive, stylized Christmas tree made of stacked books in various colors including blue, green, red, and orange, with white pages. At the top of the book stack is a yellow star. Each book is secured with a decorative bow in red, orange, or green. The background is a teal color. In the upper left corner, there is an arrangement of holly leaves and red berries, with star-like decorations. To the top right, a logo is present featuring a small crest, side-by-side text in Welsh and English, and a secondary line beneath stating "Trinity Saint David." At the bottom left, an open book graphic is topped with a Santa hat, accompanied by a bilingual label for "Books & Beyond." Near the book tree, in yellow text, the words "12 diwrnod o Nadolig Gwyrdd" and "12 days of Green Christmas" are written.
