Walter Wolf is a Croatian brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by the Tvornica Duhana Rovinj.
History[]
The brand was introduced during the Yugoslav Wars with the incipient movement of refugees in the beginning of the 1990s to Central Europe and a short time later in the trade.
Pack design[]
The design of the logo, a striking red W with the stylised injected relief of a Wolf, emerged in the 1970s in Switzerland.[1] From the 2000s onwards, the design has been processed to the intellectual property rights.[1]
The design of the packaging is dark blue with gold lettering and the words "Walter Wolf". The design remained virtually unchanged until 2012, but there came a bit more room for variation of the brand name for trade reasons.[2]
The cigarettes carry the name of the Austrian entrepreneur Walter Wolf.[3] The distinctive logo was also used in the Formula 1 racing team Walter Wolf Racing, as well as for perfumes.[4]
