14. Topology
of
logos
•
The
Wordmark
(word
mark
or
logotype)
The
Word
Mark
is
the
most
common
style
of
logo—39
%
of
the
top
100
global
brands
use
this
approach.
This
type
of
logo
turns
the
word
itself
into
the
graphic
representaHon
of
the
brand.

logos
•
The
Symbol
(icon)
No
words
necessary.
QUESTION:
What
are
the
benefits
of
this
approach?
ANSWER:
1. Your
brand
transcends
language
2. It
creates
an
iconic
presence
3. Opportunity!
Only
3%
of
the
top
brands
in
the
world
are
strictly
symbol
brands

•
The
CombinaHon
Mark
Can
you
can
get
the
best
of
both
worlds
by
combining
a
word
mark
with
a
symbol?
Does
the
symbol
and
the
mark
give
people
two
cues
to
memory?
The
symbol
can
communicate
a
message
that
supports
the
name.

logos

The
Emblem
Perhaps
a
befer
approach
for
some
companies
is
to
make
their
name
an
intrinsic
part
of
the
symbol,
creaHng
an
iconic
emblem
of
the
brand.
Discussion
point
is
the
Starbucks
logo
an
emblem
or
symbol?

Brand
Names
The
right
name
is:
•
Hreless
and
Hmeless
•
easy
to
say
and
memorable
•
has
rhythm
•
looks
good
in
an
email
and
in
the
logo
A
well
chosen
name
is
an
asset
and
a
24/7
workhorse
HOWEVER:
This
approach
takes
a
rigorous
and
exhausHve
process
–
frequently
hundreds
of
names
are
reviewed
prior
to
finding
the
one
that
is
right
and
legal
