Branding is one of essential process when starting a business. When designing a logo, logo designer will make the effort to ensure the logo brand will work in black and white and in any medium like on billboard, t-shirts, business card, business accessories and stationery like envelopes, paper note and more.

The text only logo trend is not something new but it sparked some rising in recent new business start-up. Following the trend, many designer trying to adapt by using a special mark on logo type or slight edit to the typography that make them stand out from the rest. Best sample would be the old Microsoft logo
