The mark consists of for the primary depiction of BLACK HOLLANDER, we have chosen a model of a Dutch wooden sailboat from the early 18th century, centrally positioned within the upper part of the image. The bow of the ship is directed upward and to the left, towards the west, slightly elevated to symbolize the vessel's overarching ambition for new discoveries and territories. In the illustration, the raised anchor signifies the perpetual movement of the ship, engaged in an ongoing quest for fresh lands, prosperity, and wealth. Navigating swiftly through the waves, HOLLANDER charts a course towards exploration and the conquest of uncharted territories, exemplified by the 15 sails billowing with favorable winds. The lines of the ship are rendered in black, evoking the appearance of pen strokes reminiscent of an 18th-century sailor's sketch. Notably, the ship is portrayed without cannons, reflecting a non-aggressive and diplomatic disposition. Background The background of the image adopts various shades of blue, mirroring the vastness of the ocean. A predominant sky-blue hue, uniformly distributed throughout the image, accentuates and outlines the silhouette of the ship. A deeper blue shade directly alludes to the dark, profound ocean enveloping the vessel, without encroaching beyond the other color, symbolizing HOLLANDER's adeptness in overcoming challenges within its enigmatic depths. The black color at the edges of the illustration represents the abyss toward which the ship is pointed, creating a mystical and ominous foreshadowing of the trials ahead. Inscription The primary inscription utilizes the Playfair Display font. The HOLLANDER inscription is in black font weight, while BLACK is in Bold font weight. The deliberate difference in font weights underscores the significance and prominence of each word. The Playfair font, a transitional design, harks back to the European Enlightenment era of the late 18th century when broad quill pens were replaced by sharp steel nibs, marking a shift in popular writing tools. Advancements in printing technology, ink, and paper production allowed for high-contrast letters with thin strokes, contributing to the divergence between printed and handwritten letters. Positioned at the image's bottom, beneath the ship, the inscription aligns along the central axis of the drawing. The ROLLING TOBACCO inscription is presented in a less conspicuous yet bolder font to draw less attention away from the primary inscription. The font style also resonates with the Enlightenment-era ambiance. The transition in inscription color ranges from darker to lighter tones, both resembling bronze or gold hues, projecting the opulence and grandeur associated with the name. The shift from darker tones akin to precious metal to lighter tones resembling sandy silk (actively exported during that period) symbolizes the illumination cast upon both the name and the ship. Textures Image textures, artificially aged to accentuate the historical challenges, underscore the difficulties faced. Additionally, a texture resembling surface roughness, reminiscent of storm droplets angled slightly to the side, portrays the obstacles overcome by BLACK HOLLANDER, reaching this luminous and serene destination.
The color(s) white, blue, light blue, dark blue, black, gold, bronze, is/are claimed as a feature of the mark.
