| Description of Mark | The mark consists of a three-part label. The top-most part of the label is an oval that is wider than it is high, with four borders. The outermost border is the widest, and the innermost border is the narrowest. Inside the oval is a capital letter "M" with a curling line extending from behind the center of the letter, out beyond the left and right sides of the letter and then back behind the two arms of the letter "M". The middle portion of the label is a large trapezoid with rounded corners, and deep right-angled indentations in the two upper corners, creating the impression of a flap extending up across most of the top of the label. This middle label is only slightly wider across the top than across the bottom, and it is somewhat wider overall than it is high. At the top of the label, inside the flap but also extending below it into the body of the label, is a rectangle with rounded corners that is much wider than it is high. This rectangle has three borders around the edges, the inner two of which are interrupted on the bottom edge by another smaller rectangle with rounded corners. In the larger rectangle is the word "MIDLETON", with partial outlining around the letters that creates the impression that the letters are three-dimensional. Inside the letter "O" in "MIDLETON", at the top of that letter, is a circle. The smaller rectangle is about three-quarters as wide as the larger rectangle, but very thin, and it overlaps the bottom edge of the larger rectangle. This smaller, narrow rectangle has two thin borders that extend all the way around it, and where it extends below the larger rectangle, it also is enclosed by the larger rectangle's outermost border. Below both rectangles, aligned with the left edge of the larger rectangle, are the words "DAIR GHAELACH". To the right is a depiction of a tree. The third part of the label is a rectangle with rounded edges that is about four-fifths as wide as the middle part of the label, and that is wider than it is high. This label is divided into segments by several lines. One line extends horizontally all the way across the label approximately two-thirds of the way down from the top edge. A second line extends vertically up from the full-width horizontal line without actually touching it; this line stops before the upper edge of the label. The vertical line is closer to the right edge of the label than to the left edge, but it is also closer to the center than to the right edge. Above the full-width horizontal line, and extending from the left edge of the label almost to the vertical line, is a second horizontal line a little more than one third of the way down from the top edge. There is also a second line that extends horizontally across the right side of the label from the vertical upright line to the right edge of the label. This line is slightly lower than the upper horizontal line on the left side of the label. |
