what's the purpose of a logo?

A logo is to visually represent a brand or company in a way that is instantly recognizable, memorable, and reflective of its identity.

There are several types of logos, each with its own unique characteristics and purpose. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types.

wordmarks (logotypes)

A wordmark is a logo that is based solely on the text of the company’s name. The design focuses on typography and how the name is presented.

Best for: Companies with unique names or those wanting to build brand recognition through the name itself.

lettermarks (monogram)

A lettermark is a logo that uses the initials or acronym of a brand. These logos are particularly useful for long company names.

Best for: Brands with long or complex names of those looking for a more minimalist design.

Pictorial marks

A pictorial mark is an image or graphic-based logo that represents a brand. It’s often a simplified and iconic representation of the company’s identity.

Best for: Companies looking to use a recognizable symbol that communicates the essence of their brand.

Abstract Marks

These logos use abstract geometric shapes or symbols to represent a company. The design is not directly tied to a specific object but can evoke feelings or concepts.

Best for: Brands looking for a unique and modern logo that conveys a message or feeling without relying on direct imagery.

emblems

An emblem logo combines text and imagery within a single frame or shape. The text is usually inside a symbol or icon, and the design often has a traditional, official look.

Best for: Organizations, government agencies, schools, or brands looking for a classic, vintage feel.

Mascot

Mascot logos features a character or cartoon figure that represents the brand. The mascot can be human, animal, or fantasy- based.

Best for: Brands with a playful or approachable personality, often used for sports teams, children’s products, or fun businesses.

Letterform

A letterform logo focuses on just one letter, often stylized to represent the brand. It’s similar to a lettermark but uses a single letter rather than initials

Best for: Brands looking for a simple, single letter identity.
