A logo is the umbrella term for any visual mark that represents a brand: wordmarks, lettermarks, symbols and combination marks are all logos. An emblem is one specific type of logo in which text and shape are fused inside a badge, seal, crest or frame. Every emblem is a logo, but not every logo is an emblem.
- Structure: combination marks can be split; emblems work as one piece.
- Impression: emblems feel established, traditional and official.
- Legibility: emblems can lose detail at small sizes.
- Best fit: schools, associations, sports clubs, craft food and drink brands, industrial products.
If you choose an emblem, prepare a simplified version for favicons and social profiles, add a horizontal layout for websites, define a minimum size and test it in a single colour. Racoun decides the logo type together with brand positioning and usage needs, and delivers emblems with simplified digital versions and usage rules.
