| Description of Mark | The mark consists of a stylized dark brown rectangle whose top and bottom perimeter sides bulge outward in the middle. The rectangle is outlined in dark brown, and has a stylized image of a dark brown cowboy mounted on a dark brown horse standing on a stylized ranch landscape with dark brown ground, dark brown scrub brush, and distant light brown mountains. Alternating rays of light colored in shades of dark brown and light brown emanate from a white circle in the center of the rectangle. The rays of light and circle evokes a stylized sunset. Overtop the image in the center of the rectangle is the stylized black wording "IF IT'S NOT CERTIFIED, IT'S NOT THE BEST" with "CERTIFIED" underlined in black. Beneath this wording is the stylized black wording "RANCH TO TABLE" with the words "RANCH" and "TABLE" outlined in white. Overlapping the top of the brown rectangle is a stylized yellow rectangle covered in part by a stylized banner in shades of red. The yellow rectangle has a curved upper perimeter line and it is trimmed in yellow and black. The red banner is trimmed in yellow. In the center of the banner is the stylized white wording "CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF". Above the banner is a stylized black image of a steer standing on a black curved line. Above the steer is the black wording "SINCE 1978". Below the banner is the black wording "BRAND". The color white that does not appear within the rectangles represents background, outlining, shading, or transparent area that is not part of the mark. |
