| Description of Mark | The mark consists of The mark consists of a highly ornate, horizontally extended cigar band featuring a central shield-shaped medallion, an elaborately illustrated squid emblem, intricate baroque-style scrollwork, stylized Gothic lettering, and symmetrical strap extensions. The medallion has a shield-like silhouette with a rounded upper arch and a pointed lower base, framed by three distinct layered borders: a thin inner outline, a solid black middle frame, and an outer chevron-patterned rope design resembling a braided edge for depth and dimension.At the top center of the medallion appears a highly detailed depiction of a squid, symmetrically positioned and serving as the focal point of the entire design. The squid’s head is elongated and shaped like a bishop’s mitre, tapering to a sharp point at the top, with slightly flared edges near the base. At the center of the head is a vertical teardrop-shaped aperture, inside which rests a small ornamental symbol resembling a vertical cross intersecting a central oval form. The squid has ten tentacles arranged evenly around its head. Four upper tentacles extend upward and outward, blending into the surrounding ornamental scrollwork. Four mid-level tentacles stretch horizontally to both sides, curling into smooth, spiral shapes that integrate seamlessly with the decorative filigree on either side of the medallion. Two lower tentacles descend slightly over the upper edge of the shield, overlapping the central lettering area. Each tentacle is carefully shaded using fine cross-hatching techniques to create depth, texture, and curvature without explicitly outlining individual suckers. Flanking the squid’s head on both sides are symmetrical laurel-like leaf clusters enclosed within oval frames, creating visual balance and enhancing the overall symmetry of the emblem.Extending outward from the central medallion are ornamental wings on both the left and right, designed with elaborate acanthus leaf scrolls and layered baroque-style flourishes. These decorative wings are framed by scalloped beaded borders and merge fluidly with the squid’s upper tentacles, integrating the animal into the ornamental structure. Fine engraved-style cross-hatching is used throughout the scrollwork to create the appearance of relief carving, giving the design an embossed, three-dimensional effect.Inside the central shield, the literal wording “Iramar” appears prominently in a large, highly stylized Gothic blackletter font. The letters feature bold vertical strokes, sharp pointed serifs, and delicate white ornamental inlays within select letters, adding contrast and refinement. Centered below the text, within the lower portion of the shield, is a stylized wave illustration, depicting a single cresting ocean wave curling upward with foam detailing, rendered with layered curved strokes to create depth and motion.To the far right strap extension, within a small framed rectangular panel, appears the wording “By Tinta Negra” in two stacked lines, set in a smaller Gothic-style script consistent with the lettering used for the main mark. The left strap mirrors the ornamental composition of the right strap but contains no wording. Both strap extensions feature layered horizontal decorative stripes, alternating between dark and light bands, and are accented along the top and bottom edges by a repeating perforation motif, resembling embossed ticketing or stitching for additional texture and detail. color is not claimed as a feature of the mark. |
