Monogram logos are the most symbolic logos of all. They\u2019re basically just letters, artistically combined together that create an emblem. Take the logos of Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Chanel, for example. But monogram logos<\/a> aren\u2019t limited to the fashion industry. They are a favorite of everyone who wants to portray a vibe of class, sophistication, global appeal, and recognition.<\/p>\n

Monogram letters are classy and date back to the Ancient Greeks<\/a>, who reportedly started the trend by adding city monograms to the back of their coins. From the Ancient Greeks of 350 B.C to this recent American in 2019, monograms have traveled a long way and proved themselves timeless.<\/p>\n

Make Your Logo Now<\/a><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re also enamored by monograms, find below the top tips you can use to create a stunning one for your business logo.<\/p>\n

1. Decide Where Will You Use It The Most<\/h2>\n

The primary use of your logo will decide whether it should be a monogram and what kind of monogram should you go for. A one-letter monogram is perhaps the best fit for a website favicon, whereas two- or three-letter monograms can work well on most other digital media.<\/p>\n

HBO,<\/strong> for example. The service uses their three-letter monogram logo in all digital and print media and uses their last initial O as their favicon.<\/p>\n

2. Choose A Distinct Typeface<\/h2>\n

Look for a typeface that can stand the frugality and scarcity inherent in a monogram design. We suggest a cleaner Serif or a Sans Serif for your monogram logos. Or you can go for a custom font, especially if you\u2019re looking for something unique and distinct.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t suggest Script, however. Why? There\u2019s too much going on in Script. Even when it\u2019s single letters. Then you combine two or three of them, and the design is no longer the clean and sophisticated logo you were going for. So stick to the Serifs (or sans) or go for a customized monogram font<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Pick A Defining Feature<\/h2>\n

A defining feature in your monogram logo is that bit of extra detail that makes your logo memorable. Much like this LSO logo for London Symphony Orchestra<\/a>. The design firm The Partners, along with the Symphony\u2019s in-house design team, created this logo. The monogram logo consists of the Symphony\u2019s acronym in the shape of a conductor who\u2019s holding a baton, about to start a concert.<\/p>\n
