THEN & NOW... When our twin sons were diagnosed with autism in 1974, we were told, “you need to stop by the mental retardation center and get your sons on “the waiting list.” Instead, our twins and our “differently abled” daughter have always lived at home. March 14, 1980, “The Washington Post” wrote a full page feature story...HealthTalk: “Sparkleberry”...about our efforts to create new resources and programs for autistic children, in South Carolina. But every time we tried to get better services, the bureaucracies pushed back against us. We needed a comprehensive new way to create new programs and services for “all” children with special needs. But how could that happen? As designers with 25 years of experience, why not utilize intellectual properties to protect our work. Trademarks...they last forever and they are virtually absolute in control and protection. Our approach was to find very popular cultural traditions that could be trademarked. At first “Mint Julep, the famous Southern libation, seemed the answer; however, our “logo mark” could not hold competitors at bay In 1985, we began focusing on “Language of Flowers”, based on “two centuries of world cultural tradition. We were confident that the authentic expression of specific sentiments of bouquets of flowers would extend the fascination of floral sentiments to fashions & jewelry to candles & truffles, with floral graphics, fragrances and flavors. “Language of Flowers” powerful trademarks cover thousands of products and services. NOW...we are positioned to generate major new sources of funding for “all” special needs children!
