Trademark for ‘Signal’ is still pending in the US https://uspto.report/company/Signal-Technology-Foundation

Even with a granted trademark, it would be up to the company to enforce it. Simply stating “you can’t use our name” is much different from perusing open source projects in court or sending them cease and desist letters.

But it's also a dick move to ignore their consent just because it's hard to enforce.

Say "for Signal" or "supports Signal" like the other person said, don't pretend to be part of the Signal org.
