Mark description
The mark consists of the wording "FILTER CIGARETTES" in gold in an oval shape. The oval reflects background color and appears in the upper portion of a five-sided gold polygon with a horizontal top and two vertical sides with two upwardly and inwardly sloping diagonals containing a repeating black triangle pattern. The white in the mark merely constitutes background and is not a feature of the mark.
