Information About

Monogram




, a monogram of the first two letters in the Greek word for Christ ]]

A monogram is a motif made by overlapping or combining two or more letters or other Grapheme s to form one Symbol . Monograms are often made by combining the initials of an individual or a company, and may be used as recognizable symbols or Logo s.

A monogram may have ''signed'' the sometimes artistic products (sculptures, pieces of furniture, etc) of Craftsmen , especially when the Guilds enforced measures against unauthorized participation to the trade.

An individual's monogram is often a very fancy piece of art for adorning luggage, clothing, and so forth.

Monograms of the names of Monarch s are used as part of the insignia of public organizations in kingdoms, such as on police badges. This indicates a connection to the ruler.

Some monograms, like the Interrobang , are not used for companies. These, rather, are used as letters, punctuation, and the like.
