Note that the Jazz Messengers one and the Four Freshmen one break the normal format of how these things are laid out by not having members associated with the same instrument (or same singing voice) stacked together. Graphically, this allows for a more pure staircase effect.

The Ink Spots
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/l29asq8v1w04dmd8u05qkgsr46pg9k3.png
Disputes over the rights to use the Ink Spots name began in the late 1940s, resulting in many court cases. Starting in 1954, groups calling themselves "The Ink Spots" sprang up all around the United States. Some groups contained original members Fuqua, McDonald, Bowen, or Watson, but most had no ties to the original group whatsoever. Many groups claimed to have the rights to the name, but no one did. Still, lawsuits were filed between various groups and there was great confusion as to who owned the naming rights. Some groups avoided lawsuits by naming themselves "The Fabulous Ink Spots", "The Famous Ink Spots", "The Amazing Ink Spots", "The Sensational Ink Spots", "The Dynamic Ink Spots", and more.According to writer Marv Goldberg: "The original group was a partnership, not a corporation, and that influenced judge Isidor Wasservogel to say, in 1955, that when Hoppy Jones died in 1944, it effectively served to terminate the partnership and that no one could truthfully use the name after that."[17] From 1954 to the present, more than 100 groups have used the name "The Ink Spots".[18] In 1967 US federal judge Emmet C. Choate ruled that since so many groups had been using the name "Ink Spots" it had become "public domain" and was free for anyone to use.
