Since November 22, 2011, SoundSpark distinguishes itself by an original, graphic SPARK™ brand (trademark): a gold eight-point star with a gradient of red eminating into a field of blue. Because this brand is also an orginal work of authorship, it and its derivatives are also claimed subject to copyright protection, in the United States, where first published, and in other countries as provided by treaty.
ii. Trade Dress.To highlight the original SPARK™ brand, SoundSpark further distinguishes itself by the combined use of the colors "gold," "red," and "blue," and these with "gray" shading over a "white" background — as a "full service" provider at the nexus of "Music," "Design," and "Invention."
