The iconic logo of Dallas, designed in 1972, features concentric D shapes and a stylized tree, symbolizing growth. A dispute has emerged as the city challenges Triple D Gear, which trademarked a similar logo in 2014 featuring a star instead of a tree. The legal case explores complex themes of logo design, visual identity, and trademark law nuances. While both share structural similarities, the symbol's meanings differ substantially, highlighting the tension between civic pride and commercial branding within Texas's cultural identity.
While both logos share concentric D shapes, subtle differences give each its unique character; the city’s tree symbolizes nature, while Triple D Gear’s star evokes Texan pride.
This legal dispute goes beyond mere visuals; it probes deeper questions about trademark identity and the impact of design on branding and consumer recognition.
