What should a Windows 7 OEM disc look like?

I recently purchased a new system along with an OEM Windows DVD. I'm familiar with all the holographics on a retail version so I was figuring the OEM would be similar. The DVD I received ended up being "branded" by the vendor. Now the PC is a custom build that only optionally comes with.an operating system so I wasn't figuring to get something like a system restore disc. It isn't a problem, just was curious if this was normal. I have the appropriate sticker and the installation activated fine, I just want to know if a purchase of the OEM DVD with a system should have a typical MS pressed holographic DVD.

Thanks

Update:

@Amy Bella - I'm not sure you read the question correctly. I'm looking to see what the physical disc should look like.

    1.Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Windows OPK, and click Documentation.

    2.Then click Step-by-Step: Basic Windows Deployment for OEMs or click Quick Start for System Builders. Both documents are also located in the root directory of your Windows OPK DVD.

    The Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit (Windows OPK) is a set of tools and documentation that support automated installation and customization of the following Windows operating systems:

    •Windows 7 with Service Pack 1

    •Windows Vista with Service Pack 1

    •Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1

    •Windows Server 2008

    The manufacturing environment varies from company to company. Depending on your business needs, you can use all or part of the resources available in the OPK.

    By default, the OPK is installed to the C:\Program Files\Windows OPK directory. This directory contains all of the tools and documentation included in this release.
