Universal Orlando: Wondersea Island, Despicable WE

Universal Orlando has been quite active in filing new trademarks or renewing some of the existing brands in the last few days. Two of them are quite interesting, as they are related to Universal Orlando. The first one is the renewal of the "Wondersea Island: waterpark (click here to know more about this project). While we know very, very few information about this secret project, it is good to see that it has NOT been cancelled. Take a look at the confirmation that the trademark is still Universal's property:

We'll have to wait to see if this new waterpark will be announced in the near future.

In addition to that, Universal Orlando has also filed new trademarks regarding a new name: "DESPICABLE WE." No, it's not a typo. Universal Orlando will soon unveil a new series of toys, t-shirts, and other types of merchandise items that will showcase this name:

DESPICABLE WE                                                                                                                                             Clothing, footwear, and headwear, namely: T-shirts, tank tops, sweatshirts, sweatpants, pajamas, nightgowns, robes, coats, jackets, shirts, blouses, shorts, caps, hats, shoes, boots, slippers, cloth bibs, infantwear, aprons, sweaters, etc

The t-shirt may look like this (NOT an official image. We quickly created it using paint...):

But, that's not all. It looks like "Despicable We" will also be some sort of show/meet-and-greet. Here's the same trademark, registered under the amusement park services section:

It is very interesting to check out Universal's trademarks, as you can see. Unfortunately, we didn't find any trademark that reads "JAWS"...

Stay tuned as Universal unveils new projects in the future!
