Lettermark logos are flexible and work with different designs. Take this NYC logo, for example. It encapsulates the typography with New York related objects like the subway and the big apple. It also uses colors that the city is known for. The design symbolizes the city well.

You can use color psychology to make your design more functional. This way, your symbol can exude more of your personality. For example, red communicates passion, orange represents energy, and so on. The entire spectrum comes with color psychology that will give your brand an edge.

Pro tip: Use text that is easy to understand.

When choosing a font, you should be mindful of sourcing one that is readable and legible. Each letter or glyph shouldn’t be easily confused with another. Your text should also be appropriately spaced. Doing this will help you achieve a scalable design that retains its striking look even in different size dimensions. 

Monogram logos

Historically, monograms were used in 350 BC to decorate coins. They have a vintage feel to the design, which gives it a fancy look. Even though monograms have been around for centuries, you can still make them look fresh and relevant. 

You can easily make a monogram or initial logo by combining two to three glyphs that are arranged to overlap. This creates an appealing silhouette that can lead the eyes of consumers to your initials.
