The mark consists of the words "EL RECUERDO DE OAXACA" in stylized letters against a label shaped like a tombstone. The word "EL" is centered above the word "RECUERDO", and the words "DE OAXACA" are centered below the word "RECUERDO". The word "OAXACA" is rendered in red letters, and the remaining words are rendered in black letters. A red tilde appears to the left of the word "OAXACA." There is a green line broken by an irregular flourish beneath the words, and a gray and black drawing above the words of a Mexican pyramid with three spiky plants in the foreground. The foregoing elements appear against a gold, tombstone shaped background, bordered in dark blue. The dark blue border contains a thin, light blue line, a thick magenta line with a Greek key pattern, and a thick double line in green. Dark blue and magenta glyphs are centered at the top and bottom of the label.
