Owner review 23 — rulings (2026-10-14)

Status: Active · Date: 2026-10-14 · Answers: "How about all capital for the letters? And let's go with the first one, fitted close." Companion: review-22 rulings.

Decided

1. The mark is Fitted close.
   • The idea: a tennis ball is two dumbbell-shaped felt pieces fitted close along the seam, which is 다붓이 in the ball itself.
   • The drawing: the face-on seam, two arcs bowed toward each other, with a constant 8-unit gap (12 on the small master).
   • Colour: two-tone, ball and white on ink. The one-colour version cuts both seams out of the circle.
2. The wordmark is DABUSI, in all capitals, set in Pretendard Bold with open tracking: +6% of the cap height between letters. The first try, +4%, clumped at the smallest lockup. The Korean wordmark 다붓이 is unchanged.
3. The rule for the name in text: the wordmark is DABUSI; the name in running text is Dabusi, as in the store line, captions, notifications and dabusi.app. All capitals in a sentence read as shouting and slow reading; the logo carries the caps. Say so if you want capitals everywhere.

On the board

• "The mark": listed first. It shows Fitted close only, with its full test harness: the app icons, the small sizes, notifications, lockups and the peer strip.
• "The brief": now says the mark is chosen.
• The other four proposals (Two snug, The D strings, 다 on the court, Close at the net) are removed from the board; their record is in review 22.
• Every lockup and share-card corner reads DABUSI.
• Polish: the hairline seams around the mark (anti-aliased edges of a box behind it) were removed.

For the trademark filing

Fitted close sits near the generic tennis-ball icon, so the word mark DABUSI / 다붓이 carries the trademark weight. The 변리사 should:

• file the word mark in Latin and Hangul;
• file the device as a composite with the word, not on its own.

The filing plan stands: review 21. File at KIPO soon, given the 다붓 messenger.

What comes next

• The app rename: waits for the filing. Bundle IDs never change.
• The mark in production: export the icon set (iOS layers, the Android adaptive layers, the notification icon, the favicon) from the board's art components once the filing is in. The scratch exporter renders the same components.
