ABSTRACT:
A high impact logo structure for a tire sidewall includes a pattern formed in the body of the sidewall. The structure of the pattern creates the appearance that the pattern is recessed into the tire sidewall without actually extending inwardly past the outer surface of the sidewall. The pattern has an interior wall that projects outwardly from the outer surface of the body of the sidewall above the reference plane of the outer surface of the sidewall. The interior wall defines at least part of the pattern. An outline wall projects outwardly from the outer surface of the body of the sidewall above the reference plane of the outer surface of the sidewall. The outline wall extends about at least part of the perimeter of the interior wall of the pattern. The outline wall is spaced from the interior wall by a groove that increases the visual impact of the pattern. The lower surface of the groove is substantially coplanar with the outer surface of the sidewall. The upper surface of the outline wall is above the upper surface of the interior wall.
