Usage of Democratic party logo?

Is the blue D-in-a-Circle logo trademarked by the party? I'm aware it's not necessarily copyrighted, since it's just a simple shape with a letter in it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's free to use for commercial purposes, like selling it emblazoned on t-shirts.

No, you can't sell it. It is copyrighted. Cattledog Apr 2020 #1
OK, that's what I was thinking. Didn't think it was available, but wanted to be sure. Beartracks Apr 2020 #2
