10 Fonts to Try When Creating a Monogram Logo

It is true that most companies choose a combination logo as their logo type. However, there's nothing stopping you from opting for a different style, especially if you're looking to stand out from your competitors. Have you thought about creating a monogram logo? If so, let us give you some ideas for fonts to try out that are designed specifically for this type of logo.

What is a monogram logo?

Before we get started, let's take a moment to remind you what a monogram logo is. This is a relatively simple type of logo, consisting of only a few letters or numbers, often an acronym or the first few letters of the company name. Unlike the combined logo, there is no icon or symbol used.

Some well-known brands using this type of logo include Chanel, IKEA, the New York Yankees, and H&M.

 

Why is it essential to find the right font for your logo?

Fonts remain one of the most important pieces of your branding. Like colors, fonts are used in the world of design to convey a specific message, as well as to show one's values or personality. It is therefore essential to choose a typography that will represent your business well, especially when there are few visual components like a monogram logo.

 

10 Fonts to Try If You Want to Create a Monogram Logo

Are you looking for ideas to create the perfect monogram logo? Let us suggest ten interesting fonts that can be used in the FreeLogoDesign editor.

Remember that you have the opportunity to play with letters with this type of logo. You can intertwine them, duplicate them, reverse them, etc. Feel free to try different layouts.

 

Amarante

First, we can present the Amarante typeface, which has this side that is reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style. Decorative, but using serifs, we find at the same time an aesthetic, elegant, serious and stable side. It's possible that fonts like Amarante will become more popular in the coming months, especially when you consider the logo of the Paris Olympics.

Bungee Shade

If you're looking for something that's going to attract attention and has a slightly more commanding style, why not go with fonts like Bungee Shade? This font stands out in particular thanks to its shading. One thing is certain, you won't go unnoticed! Note that there are different versions of the Bungee font.

Chonburi

Do you want a more classic font with a touch of elegance? Among the serif fonts we recommend is Chonburi. This typeface stands out by using thicker and thinner parts, while bringing a little sophistication.

Dr Sugiyama

Often, script or decorative fonts are used for monogram logos because they are reminiscent of handwriting. Therefore, if you're looking for a font that's close to the way you write, you might want to try Dr. Sugiyama. It gives the impression that the letters were written in pen.

Fascinate

When it comes to sans-serif fonts, what do we have that is both original and retro? For this, we recommend you take a look at the Fascinate font. It looks like it came straight out of the 1920s. Its thick letters will certainly help you stand out, while bringing a little touch of madness.

Grand Hotel

If we go back to script fonts and want to use a type of typography that uses many curves that are reminiscent of handwriting, then Grand Hotel could be an interesting choice. It also has a retro and sophisticated feel, which can be relevant for a monogram logo.

Italiana

Italiana remains one of our favorite fonts. Elegant, refined, understated, and timeless, this typography can help you give your brand a high-end look. Similar to Chonburi in the use of different thicknesses in letters, the lines are however thinner.

Molle

Are you looking for something more eccentric or reminiscent of the 1960s? It is then possible that Molle is an interesting font. One thing is certain, its dynamic curves and thick lines will leave no one indifferent. This is another option if you desire something that attracts attention and is original.

Playfair Display

Another font we recommend for a monogram logo with a look that is both distinguished and serious is Playfair Display. There is also this play between thicker and thinner lines, but it is especially its serifs that stand out. The capital letters are very pointed and pronounced.

Yellowtail

If you're looking for a script font that's a little more subtle or casual, check out Yellowtail. Slightly on an incline, the curves are less pronounced, but they bring something unique, which can be very interesting if you want to create a monogram logo.
