Abstract

An etched logo is provided at a location within the layers. This etched section is viewable to the user on the working surface as a form of insignia (logo, trademark, letters, words, serial numbers, designs, patters, artwork, and the like) and does not wear off in normal use because of the coating layers and. Alternatively, the etching (or other slight indentation) may penetrate the 26 while still being viewable in the finished product to display the insignia. Even further, the etching may extend through the coating layers and the substrate. In this particular embodiment, the substrate includes a surface texture (also a form of insignia) viewable to a person in the finished product.
