You need to get your logo / trademark registered with the Trademarks Registry. There are different categories in which applications are filed depending upon the goods or services under which the registration is sought.

Well you can certainly register your logo as a trademark as well as a work of art under copyright. So far as trademark is concerned, you can seek a prior art search of similar logos prior to registration as trademark. The chances of an infringement of your marks is a possibility always. Your page url is unique under the ICNN. You can also register your web page (if it is unique) as a work/ image. Let me know if you need further help. Would be happy to help.

Though there is no such requirement to get the registration done for the protection of your IPR matters as you can always bring a suit for passing of if someone is using your logo however it is always advisable to have your logo and tagline registered for the use otherwise you may face trouble later on if someone starts using the same logo or tagline and will ask you to stop using it based on the goodwill clause or on the ground that his or her use of that logo is prior to the use done by you.

Hi
You should indeed register your name/logo for protection of same from misuse or infringement by any third party.
In the absence of any registration by you, it may be difficult for you to stop anyone else using the same name/logo and in case the other person does registers the same name/logo before you, he may also be able to stop you from using the said name/logo.
For protection you can opt to register your name as a Wordmark and your logo as a device Trademark.
You may further register your logo as a Copyright as an added protection.

I can further suggest that you may further be able to protect each of your paintings by registering them separately which in turn would provide protection against any infringement of each painting.
For any further query, please feel free to contact us.
