Logotype Definition

According to WIKIPEDIA explanation, logotype, also named wordmark and word mark, is usually a distinct text-only typographic treatment of the name of a company, institution, or product name used for purposes of identification and branding. Simply puts WIKIPEDIA insights, Logotype is the kind of logo that only consists of texts or words.

However, in a post from 99designs, Hilda, a designer, explicitly separates monogram(lettermark) from logotype(wordmark).

So in a large scale(from WIKIPEDIA perspective), logotype includes monogram, while some designer, like Hilda, believes monogram is split from logotype and is just comprised of a few letters but without words.

Let's view the famous brand logotypes together in WIKIPEDIA and designer points respectively.

Tricks to Turn a Logotype into a Domain - For Better Business Promotion!

If you haven't registered a domain for your business, you will like to turn it into a web domain, when logotype design is completed. Here are some tips for reference:

One way to do it is learning from Microsoft, that is, use logotype words as the domain, in our previous examples, register https://www.graphico.com or https://www.dlogo.com.

Another way is to use the first letter in words, so https://www.go.com or https://www.dl.com would be an option. In most cases, these domains are much more expensive.

It's a sure thing that you can add some letters before or after logotype words.

Some rules to obey:

• *Do not choose a domain or a logotype that is similar to a famous brand.

• *Don't use any hyphens "-" in domain.

• *Don't use uppercase in domain.

• *Don't add letters to split your logotype word.

• *Better not include letter of the "q", "z", "x","c","p".

• *Register only after checking its copyright and validation.

• *Don't include targeted keywords in your domain.
