Mark description
The mark consists of the literary elements "REAL CAROLINA SOUTHERN UNSWEET TEA CRAFTED IN THE SOUTH, FOR THE SOUTH". The design consists of the stylized words "SOUTHERN UNSWEET TEA", with a stylized flourish emanating from the letters "TH" in the word "SOUTHERN". Centered above the stylized words "SOUTHERN UNSWEET TEA" are the smaller stylized words "REAL CAROLINA". A small solid circle appears on each side of the stylized word "REAL". The wording is encompassed in a large circle, that contains an inner circle that is broken up on the right and left side by the "S" and "N" in "SOUTHERN". Between the outer and inner circle is a thin line that is broken on the top half by the "S" and "N" in "SOUTHERN" and is broken in the bottom portion by the wording "CRAFTED IN THE SOUTH, FOR THE SOUTH", which curves upward along the arc of the circle.
