If I make a stylized "peace" sign the symbol for my company, and then get a copyright on it, is that so unthinkable or impossible to have happen?

Suppose though this sign were special. I could put a little symbol down digitally, and a vastly distributed operating system would recognize it was my characters, and instead replace it with my logo for me. Let's go a step further and have it recognize my symbol as standing for both those characters, and my company.

Too far fetched?
