Toucan Sam - Maya Archaeology Initiative

Maya Archaeology Initiative

The Maya Archaeology Initiative (MAI) is a project of the World Free Press Institute (WPFI). On June 2010, WFPI submitted a trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the MAI's logo, a side view of a toucan with a Mayan temple in the background, both encircled by yellow/green light. It was published on 15 March 2011.

Kellogg's (owner of the Toucan Sam logo) objected on the grounds that the two logos are too similar. That caused a long argument, which ended on 15 November 2011 with an announcement that Kelloggs and the MAI are forming a charitable partnership.
