The mark consists of a combination of a design and words and letters to spell "The Rutledge." The mark includes the word "THE" in thin, spaced out capital letters, centered with a thin vertical line located to the right. To the left of the thin vertical line is a design that mimics a capital letter "R", followed by the standard characters "UTLEDGE" in bolded capital letters. The thin vertical line is parallel to the surrounding design and lettering, and extends slightly past the bottom of the "R" design and lettering. The design element differs from a capital letter "R" in that the focal point of the design contains a bold line descending diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the design. The bold descending diagonal line fades into transparency as it approaches and continues away from the curving line at the center of the design, creating the effect that the descending diagonal line is passing underneath the curved line of the design.
