The present brand motif shows a postman of the "Kleine Post", the "Klapperpost" in Vienna. Therefore, since it was possible in Vienna for the first time since 1772 to deliver letters from Viennese to Viennese, Kleine Post made this possible thanks to the new organization "Kleine Post". Initially, the postmen did not wear uniform clothing - it was not until about a year before the clothing issue was settled. Pictures show that the jackets and vests were yellow / black at the beginning, later they turned gray. The messenger's equipment consisted of a mailbox they always carried with them on the back and a rattle announcing their arrival. Incidentally, the "Kleine Post" was replaced in 1830 by the city post office in Vienna.
