You cannot copyright numbers, or single letters of the alphabet.

"You cannot copyright numbers, or single letters of the alphabet."

Thank you poohbah, you truly are grand! It's clear it's not the same font anyway. I saw a pretty interesting thing the other day, an ad for something, a book maybe, it was like a little quiz, words made up of famous advertising logo letters. The Campbell's Soup "C" (I got that one), the Wendy's "W" (didn't get that one), and so on. It was kind of amazing how the stuff sinks into your mind, or completely passes you by. I wish I could remember what the thing itself was all about. Oh well, that ad was a failure!

Yes you can copyright a letter, they did it for the letter "W". However it was restricted to the use of merchandise related to bedding.

I guess Oprah and Overstocked dot com are safe from litigation.
