Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

From the Wikipedia page about The Levellers:

"Rolling anarchy" is a trademarked symbol of the band.

A trade-marked anarchy symbol? Um, right.

A little too ironic. And yes, I really do think.

Way to stick it to The Man!

Oh, I quite like it as a celtic knot style thing, and hadn't twigged it was supposed to be an anarchy symbol anyway, but now I'm just mildly disappointed. It kinda sums them up though in a lot of ways.

Well after all, you wouldn't want the man using the same symbol right back atcha!

Well, my reaction is "according to who?"

Wikipedia say so, but they don't give a source. Other websites likewise. I can't find a statement anywhere from the Levellers themselves on the topic. I had a quick look in the IPO's registered trademark database but couldn't find anything.

Of course, someone might have said that, meaning that as it was clearly associated with them as their logo it meets the criterion to be regarded as one, but that's different from the band having taken specific legal steps.

Someone should probably ask them.

Hmm. Yes. Not everything I read on the internet is true :)

I was going to add a ^{[citation needed]} but I see someone has beaten me to it l-)

Say it ain't so!

That would be me, trying to salvage my reputation after reading zotz's comment above :)

Salvaging one’s reputation with an anonymous remark is very understated l-)
