  • The left one was a blue “T” to the stem of which there were connected a leg and an arm forming a letter “K”.
  • Next version had separate letters “T” and “K each having its own stem glued to each other.
  • The “K” has a very short stem and disproportionally long arm and leg.
  • It has a square with a white background field and a black border.
  • The two lower corners are rounded and the top border line is wavy.
  • There are the same two block letters meaning the company’s trademark, but this time the letter “T” is in the foreground and the letter “K” is smaller and placed behind it.
  • The letter “T” and the border of the square are made in a charcoal grey tone.
