Montblanc trademark sign
The trademark most clearly identified with Montblanc is the white stylised six-pointed star with rounded edges, representative of the Montblanc snowcap from above, the symbol being adopted in 1913. The number "4810," the mountain's height in metres, is also a commonly recurring theme.
