Mark description
The mark consists of 3 concentric circular lines with the outer line being triple the thickness of each of the other two which are the same thickness. The circles have openings on both sides mid-way between the top and the bottom. The middle lines on both sides, upper and lower, turn outward and become horizontal, parallel lines extending through the circumference of the circle. Within the openings between the upper and lower parallel lines, are stylized faces of a basketball on the left side and stylized pencils in a crisscross position on the right. Inside the inner circle the phrase "BALL + CHAIN" is located with the word "BALL" in the upper half of the circle, the plus sign being in the center of the circle and the word "CHAIN" in the bottom half of the circle. The words "BALL" and "CHAIN" are in upper case. On the left side of the plus sign is a stylized depiction of the face of Rebecca Rushin aka Rebecca Lobo and on the right side of the plus sign is a stylized depiction of the face of Steven Rushin. Color is not a distinguishing feature of the mark.
