VeriSign Files Trademark Applications for Fresh “V” Logo

VeriSign Files Trademark Applications for Fresh “V” Logo

.Com and .Net registry may be looking to remake its image.

VerisignVeriSign has filed a slew of trademark applications for “V” this stretch. But ahead of you flip out, the firm isn’t trying to trademark the letter itself. Instead, it appears the firm is giving its stylized “v” logo a fresh look.

The six related trademark applications feature a number of styles, but all feature a stylized letter V with part of the right side missing, creating a diamond shape protruding from left half of the V. One version has the V in a blue circle, with the VeriSign name off to the right.

The applications were filed on December 1. It’s possible the makeover has to do with the firm recently selling off its security division to Symantec.
