According to a recently filed trademark application, KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) Corporation of Louisville, KY, is pursuing protection on a new version of the KFC founder, Col. Harland Sanders. This trademark application (serial no. 78909943, filed on June 16th) claims “the image of a man with a black bowtie and red apron in front of a red background,” and according to KFC spokeswoman Laurie Schalow, the uses of the new image are “still to be determined” by the company. The image to the right comes directly from the trademark application. Col. Sanders founded Kentucky Fried Chicken and his likeness has been used to advertise the brand even after his death in 1980.Louisville Courier-Journal News Article: LINK
