AMICA is "Automobile Mutual Insurance Co. of America", home offices
located in Rhode Island since around the beginning of this century.

Given that their logo contains the acronym 'AMICA' and checks are
payable to 'AMICA', I'd guess it's a registered trademark or
copyrighted (not sure I understand the difference).
