Tony your are talking 3 trademarks there. 1 being Batfink, 1 being the logo, and 1 being "wings like a shield of steel"
The name "Batfink" you would want to register, the image logo is a TM but not worth the $$ to register (logo's change over time) and the other is a TM.. again not worth the $$ to register. Batfink will carry the "R" mark no matter what (once registered and accepted) but the others will become an association of the registered trademark "Batfink", both carrying the copyright laws and TM symbol behind them...not the "R".
As an example, the saying "If seeing is believing, we can make you believe anything" is a trademark of myself and my associated "registered" Company and Partnership. As I have already used this in advertising, media and public display, It can not be argued against my rights and others can still infringe on this unlawfully....but technically I'm not legally protected. However I can prove it's association and establishment over the history of its use as my trademark. One day I will register it, but not until it's worth spending the money on the fees. The company name itself however is a registered Trademark.
