 To be registrable a trade mark must be:


and it must be paid for!

http://www.patent.gov.uk/tm/howtoapply/index.htm
It costs 200 (pounds sterling) to apply to register a trade mark in one
class of goods/services, and 50 (pounds sterling) for each additional
class. Please remember that this fee is not refundable if the mark turns out
not to be registrable for any reason - it covers the cost of examination of
an application as well as other administrative costs. Please make cheques
payable to "The Patent Office".

 If you were going to do this shouldn't they just go under the member pages on 
london.pm.org?
 

could do - but I like the idea of a trophy cabinet type thing.. people can
be proud to have added something to the london.pm trophy cabinet.

As an impartial observer who has watched both of you, I think London.pm has it.
NY.pm can use pizza instead.
