Quality sign

In the 1960s, the idea of introducing such markings for individual product names emerged in various industries, including breweries. Questions often arose regarding the quality of the products being manufactured in the USSR, and this mark was intended to guarantee "highest class." To obtain the right to use the quality mark, a plant had to pass a series of inspections. The mark was issued for several years, after which it had to be re-inspected.

The five facets symbolically signified: reliability, affordability, safety, aesthetics, and innovation. Interpretations of the internal image vary; some see it as a combination of a compass and scales, others a blacksmith's tool. Overall, the symbol is attractive, in my opinion. This is probably why it continued to be used for marketing purposes after the collapse of the USSR, when it ceased to be valid.
