  Hallmark Cards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hallmark Cards, a privately owned American company based in Kansas City, Missouri, is the largest manufacturer of greeting cards in the United States.
In 1928, the company adopted the name "Hallmark", after the hallmark symbol used by goldsmiths in London in the 14th century, and began printing the name on the back of every card and promoting it in ad campaigns, a practice the company continues to the present day.
Hallmark owns Hallmark Entertainment, a producer of television shows and mini-series; the Hallmark Channel television network; Binney and Smith, makers of Crayola-brand crayons; and operates a chain of independently-owned card and gift stores in the United States and Canada.

 Hallmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hallmark is an official marking made by a trusted party, 'guardians of the craft' or nowadays by an assay office, on items made of precious metals (platinum, gold and silver) that guarantees a certain purity of the metal.
Often the hallmark is made up of several elements including: the type of metal, the maker and the year of the marking.
Hallmarking probably started in France, the standard for silver being established in 1260, but the first town mark was established in 1275.

 Dogpark.com: off-leash, on-line | Hallmark Cards Loves Dogs | Hallmark's 'Pet Love' Cards
Hallmark’s creative team is filled with people who have pets, who volunteer at shelters, run rescue organizations and surround themselves with animals, so every single item in the Pet love line is created by people who really, truly love pets.
Inspiration for a specific card might come from a photo, or a cat-owning writer might jot down a thought while at home with her cats - since these are all pet owners themselves, they know the personalities and traits of pets and can express them in a way that appeals to other pet owners.
Carolyn Hoppe, card writer and proud mom of rescue cats, says that the idea is to get a bead on pet traits and personalities that appeal to people, play up the habits of the animal, then have it converge with the habits of humans - that makes a card both relevant and appealing.

 Hallmark Cards, Part 2
Before we examine the white, red, and artifact hallmark creatures, let’s see who won at the polls for fl, blue and green.
From a design standpoint, red has both goblins and dwarves: the former are used for cards which have levity, while the latter are used for smaller creatures which are a bit more serious in flavor.
Not surprisingly, the hallmark clockwork artifact creature is Masticore, with his hefty cost of losing a card a turn offset by his huge frame, ability to machine gun down other creatures, and tendency to regenerate from even the most seemingly lethal of damage.
