The words "Certified product" written *up* the left side and 5 silver ticks on the edge of the red. The rest has black writing saying the standard number, issuer and (what I assume to be) a serial number. Anything with a different sticker is a "novelty hat" - I certainly wouldn't wear one. To my understanding said sticker's been the same since its inception.

Don't have the issue in front of me but it was one of the last three or four, a response from the editor in the letters section regarding those white stickers vs the tick stickers. --Brad
