Forces to be reckoned with<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn the universe of logos, there are 5 main types: word mark, symbolic\/icon, letter mark, emblem and a combination of both. Wordmark logos consist of a type font which is styled or manipulated to convey the identity of a business. Even without being styled or manipulated, fonts tend to give off their own impressions.<\/p>\n
Giant brands such as Facebook, Google, and Virgin possess word mark logos that rely solely on the name of the company, institution, or product for purposes of identification and branding.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nBrands like Nike, Pepsi, and Apple rely on their brand symbol\/icon for product placement, and these symbols have won the loyalty of consumers\u00a0<\/a> all around the world. Logos made up of symbols consist of a mixture of graphic images that evoke a message to its viewers and comprises anything from basic shapes to conceptual images that portray a specific meaning for the business.<\/p>\nLetter mark logos are very similar to word mark logos in that they are created using typefaces. However, there is a greater focus on just using first letter, initials, or an abbreviation of a company\u2019s name to convey their brand identity. Unlike word marks that may contain a simple graphic for clarity, letter marks tend to be exclusively typographic.
\nSome striking examples of such logos are HP, CNN, HBO etc.<\/p>\n
Combination mark logos offers the most flexibility because they consist of both a symbol and a word, or letter mark. These elements can be presented together or individually when representing a company. 56% of the top 100 businesses globally uses this type of logo.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Those that have effectively utilized combination logos, i.e both type and symbols into their logos include big brands such as Burger King, Mercedes-Benz, and Ferrari.<\/p>\n
Emblem logos can be considered combination marks to a degree. They are similar because they both include a symbol and text; however, unlike combination marks, emblem style logos are more integrated and enclosed to appear as one single graphic.Because of this, emblem style logos cannot be presented as separate identity pieces like a combination mark logo, which gives them very little flexibility, especially in print applications or when resizing. This type of logo is very popular in the automobile industry as well as in the sporting world. Emblem style logos tend to resemble a badge or an official seal.Brands like Starbucks, Harley Davidson, UPS boast such logos.<\/p>\n
Now back to logos drawing a complete blank about a company. All the above logos are recognizable simply because they are huge, worldwide brands. But a logo speaks nothing of a company if it has no brand image or identity.<\/p>\n

Apple is a fruit, yet Apple doesn\u2019t sell fruit\u00a0or apples ; but the recognized company identity<\/a> and brand name is what makes the logo iconic, popular and well recognized.<\/p>\nNot to mean you can scribble down anything, call it a logo, and expect to take the world by storm \u2013 In the long run, the logo identifies a business in its simplest form via the use of a mark or icon<\/em>.<\/p>\nA logo design usually comes first, followed by establishing a coherent brand image and a solid identity.
