Re:Citigroup trademarks “THANKYOU” and sues AT&T for thankin... by inetsee on Sunday June 12, 2016 @11:06PM (#11891500)
I believe San Diego Magazine trademarked "San Diego" quite a few years ago. IIRC the trademark included the specific font used by the magazine on its cover. If they had tried to trademark the phrase without limiting it to a magazine with that specific font, I would hope they would have failed to get the registration. I haven't looked at the filing in this case (life is too short for this kind of bullshit), but I would hope it's limited to "THANKYOU", all caps, no space.

whether they are similar enough to cause confusion is for the court to decide. in any case it's close enough for citi group to potentially lose the trademark if they don't challenge
