| Description of Mark | The mark consists of a background with bands of yellow, red, white and yellow in descending order from the top to the center. The stylized term "MARIQUITAS" appears in green cursive in the top yellow band at an angle rising to the right, with the word "BRAND" printed in green uppercase letters at the lower right of "MARIQUITAS" and the term "CLASSIC" displayed in uppercase letters in green beneath "MARIQUITAS". To the lower left of the wording is a circular stylized emblem where the top of the circle is formed by the stylized words "MANUFACTURED IN THE USA" in blue outlined with white and the bottom of the circle is formed by three five-pointed stars in blue outlined with white. The circle surrounds an image of a stylized red, white, and blue United States flag design. Below, a diagonal band of red outlined in white provides the background for the words "PLANTAIN CHIPS" in white upper case letters. Below that, a white parallelogram is filled with an image of 5 plantain chips in the color yellow with shades of brown. To the left side of the white parallelogram is the image of a green plantain tree with a brown, yellow and green trunk outlined in white, with a bunch of green plantains displayed in front of the lowermost right portion of the tree. The color black represents outlining and is not part of the mark. |
