The emblem featured a dark blue background with the white shadowed inscription on its top part, executed in a classy serif font. The elegant gold bird was set above the nameplate, and the “1715 — 2015” datemark was written under the wordmark, in thin gold lines. This anniversary badge was created to celebrate the 300 years of the legendary brand, so this number took the biggest part of the banner, drawn in numerous rounded sparkles in silver, and underlined with a gold “Tricentenaire” in thin gold capitals.
