A similar situation (in USA at least) applies to trademarks, including graphic trademarks. You may mark it with the single character: (TM) without registration. You may mark it with the single character: (R) only after registration is granted. So while in the design stage, include the "circle TM" in the graphic. You can decide on the registration question at a later date.
