Chapter 18: Initials and Monograms
This chapter showcases logos that feature the use of alphabetic characters to form a mark. Initials often stand for the name of the entity that the logo identifies and can be one letterform or more. A monogram is a combination of letterform or letterforms that overlap or are an amalgamation to form one graphical focal point. Initials and monograms help the viewer to remember the name of a brand, organization, or individual.
