Hi! I'm not quite sure what you mean by the "dark ones," but blowing harder is not the way to get upper pitches. You'll need to use a focused airstream, and direct it upwards more for the upper registers. It's more about where the air is hitting than how much air you're pushing through the flute. Blow too much and the notes will be thin sounding and out of tune. Try to work chromatically up to the higher pitches. With work they'll start to pop out with no trouble at all.

direct your air stream higher, push more air,and make the opening in your mouth smaller

You shouldn't need to push more air for the upper registers. If you're supporting well in the rest of the range, the upper range should require just about the same amount of air as anywhere else on the flute, just used differently. Making the aperture smaller may help, but you must be careful not to let your embouchure get tense as a result of that change.

Well if it's a junker flute or isn't operating properly, that could have something to do with it, but normally leaky pads and the like affect the lower ranges much more than the upper. If you've just started out on flute, chances are you just need to learn how to use your air to get the sound and pitches you want. What type of flute did you end up getting?

I'm not familiar with a logo like that. Perhaps someone else here has seen a similarly marked flute.
