Swipen logo is now officially trademarked!

Share this post

Over the last few months, we have been working on registering our Swipen logo with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO).

We have always been very proud of our logo and brand design. Created by graphic designer, Sara Holloway, in 2018, our logo and brand identity has often been admired and praised by our customers, partners, and competitors. From letterheads, email signatures and business cards, to marketing brochures, video content and social media, Sara has helped us create a strong brand that is professional, recognisable, and memorable.

 

What is a trademark?

A Trademark means any unique symbol, word, name, device, or numeral, which can be represented graphically.

Registering a Trademark creates an intangible asset, i.e. it becomes Intellectual Property. The owner of a Registered Trademark therefore enjoys exclusive rightsover the trademark.

Some of the benefits of registering a trademark include:

  • It builds trust and goodwill
  • Inspires a positive image of an organisation
  • Increases brand value
  • It provides recognition of a product or service
  • Protects against infringement
  • Easier to register the trademark in other countries

 

Swipen registered

Swipen’s logo is key to our branding and commercial identity. We therefore know it’s worth protecting. Our application with the IPO proceeded with no issues and passed with no objections.

We’re pleased to have now received our registration certificate confirming that our logo is trademarked across the UK.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
