The space inside this rectangle is dark blue at the top, fades to light blue at the bottom and contains diagonal black lines at the top and the bottom corner. Inside the rectangle and slightly extending below the rectangle, there is an image of a tan man with a red firefighter hat on, wearing a gray coat, black boots and holding a silver axe with a brown handle, all outlined in black. There are red, yellow, and orange emulating from his back side, that are drawn towards a white cloud with a black outline. On top of the rectangle, the stylized wording "BUFFO'S" is displayed in white with a black shadow. Underneath the image of the man, the stylized wording "BACKDRAFT" appears in letters that are yellow at the top, and then fade to orange, light red and dark red at the bottom of the letters. Below this wording, the stylized wording "HOT CHIPOTLE PEPPER SAUCE" is displayed in yellow letters within a solid red oblong. |
