Issue date:
Upon further consideration, the description of the mark is unacceptable.
The mark description states that the background appears as an enlarged shadow image of the barn. However, the background appears in red but it is not described as such.
The following is suggested: The mark consists of the words "BIG RED" in stylized font in the color white. Centered above the words is an image of a barn on a hill, with a view of the front and right side of the barn, and appearing within a small white box. The words and the barn image in a box appear towards the bottom of the mark. The barn is in the color red, with the roof of the barn in the color white. The barn doors are outlined in the color white and the two windows on the right side of the barn are in the color white. The hill is denoted by red and white stripes. In the background of the entire mark appears an enlarged red shadow image of the barn.
