the signature pink cat

The film's name originally referred to a stolen diamond. However, it wasn't long before the signature pink cat that slunk across the screen in the opening credits came to be known as the Pink Panther.

How do you paraphrase the phrase in bold, especially the word signature? Thanks.

Hi,

I presume in our language we'd name it "the trademark/logo pink cat," but I'm not sure if that makes sense to you.

In English, these terms are not suitable here.

trademark - a legally protected ientifier for a business

logo - a design, often abstract, that identifies a business and its products.

Both would

Thanks, Clive, for your kindness and time.

A whimsical idea just crossed my mind, that is, is it possible that trademark and logo are synonymous? They are in our language.

Hi,

In English, a trademark can be a logo or in the form of words. I think the main distinction is that a trademark has legal force. In other words, if you use my trademark I can sue you and I will win.
