Idunno about American law, but I was looking into getting a trademark
back home, and
(a) typographical aspects of a trademark are not protected, and
(b) you cannot get a trademark which is "confusingly similar" to
    an existing trademark.
Something like (b) probably applies here, so I think you're out of luck.
