She's not saying they can't use the word "Swift". She is objecting to the specific logo they have chosen. It looks remarkably similar to her signature, which is trademarked. Both are shown in the article.
I don't care one way or another about Taylor Swift except that she has too much money. I think she is right in this case. The logo really could create brand confusion because of the similarity between their proposed logo and her signature.
IMO once you look past the fact that they are both cursive and elegant, they are many differences. Taylor Swift’s signature has some very distinctive features, and none of them can be found in the brand’s logo, which is in a much more generic cursive style.
But I suppose the claim isn’t outlandish either, just seems very petty and either insecure or greedy.
Other than cursive they are nothing alike. A dedicated font person on TM would tear this apart of anyone had the nuts to actually take on her team.
