Our logo features a white bear standing in front a rock outcropping surrounded by natural vegetation. The white bear is a play on our corporate name, Matoska Trading Company, Inc. Matoska means "white bear" in Lakota. The logo is based on a Italian engraving by Innocente Allessandri which was published in 1771-1775 in the natural history book Descrizione delgi Animali.
