We see many names and symbols that we immediately recognise. However we all confuse trademarks, logos and signs frequently not even knowing the difference.
Many of the photos I show on Carmi's weekly challenges are things I see on my daily walk to fetch a newspaper.
Here's me just on my way -

| With my 'trademark' back pack |
It's a few years old and well worn, so much so in fact that you cannot read the 'Head' name it carries. Whether 'Head' is a trademark I wouldn't know.
I know your eyes are good enough to see the yellow tag it carries. Is this a trademark or just a logo?

| Dogs Trust logo? |
There is a canine connection in my next shot too in which you should recognise a well-known symbol as well.

| Shell Pecten symbol |
In 1900 the Shell Transport and Trading Company applied for its first trademark using a shell logo, which is still on the trademark register. The logo evolved, being redesigned in 1904 when the pecten or scallop shell was introduced.
Now where can I get a pair of shades like that dog? I'll bet they are trademarked.

I reckon if you're sued for using it, its a trademark!! Love the dogs!
I hadn't really thought about it before, but we are surrounded by logos, trademarks, etc. Now they even sell the right to have them "placed" on TV, and in the movies.
I have a backpack I use all the time, too, Bob. Bought it from a street vendor in 1997 or so.
As for the the trademarks, get ready for it to be even worse...if the TPP and TTIP get passed.
