beka.2

Design: A gorgeous pseudo-brush lettered logo, complete with swash underline, in a commercial style that has fully matured (compare with the same logo from 1914, as well as the previous page).

Its lines flow smoothly and there is nice contrast between the fat strokes and the delicate loops.

There are slight differences to be seen with the Chinese version of the label (next page).

The fine-dotted border also provides an excellent contrast for the whole, making for a very powerful image.
