The word "Results" is presented as the subject and that word is plural. Since, the verb must agree with the subject, the correct expression is:
"Results are our Trademark"
If you reversed the subject and predicate, you would have:
"Our Trademark is Results"
Do you see the difference?

are

Results are our trademark. The subject of the verb is the plural noun "results."

If we switch it around to make "Trademark" the subject, then we use "is"

Our trademark is results. It is correct, but awkward this way, making one wonder more about "is" and "are" than the first sentence does.

"Results" is a plural countable noun (it has an "s" on it, which indicates that is is a countable noun). Plural nouns take the form "are."

Irregular plural nouns are things like "people" "men" "women" "geese" "mice"
Irregular plural nouns do not end in "s" and still take the plural verb "are."
Singular nouns take the singular verb "is." Examples of non-countable nouns which can represent a large mass (similar to a plural, but not a plural because they can't be counted) are:
water, ice, rain --- is

both count and non-count:

thought
Thought *is* a process of the mind.
I had so many thoughts in my head that I couldn't sleep last night. Those same thoughts *are* keeping me awake tonight.
