An English logo of the 2025/26 Public Domain Day in Poland.

The centerpiece consists of four large numerals arranged horizontally, displaying "2025" with a unique transition effect. Each digit is rendered in white against solid black rectangular backgrounds:

The "2" appears in a standard, complete form
The "0" is also shown in complete form
The second "2" is again complete
The final digits show a split-flap or mechanical counter-style animation, with "6" visible on top and "5" on the bottom, divided by a horizontal line through the middle of the rectangle.
