According to the United Stated Patent and Trademark Office, Zimmerman filed his most recent application on August 18, 2014.

The description for his logo was included in the application: "Color is not claimed as a feature of the mark. The mark consists of a caricature of a mouse head with the letter "X" over each eye and the word, in a stylized format, "deadmau5" centered beneath the mouse head."
