Symbolic
Symbols and icons are compelling yet uncomplicated images that are emblematic of a particular company or product. They use imagery that conveys a literal or abstract representation of your organization. Symbols are less direct than straight text, leaving room for broader interpretation of what the organization represents. Examples: Bank Negara, Petronas, Open University, Merdeka, Apple, Mercedes and Putra

Wordmark
A logotype or wordmark, incorporates your company or brand name into a uniquely styled type font treatment. Type fonts come in thousands of possible variations, shapes, sizes, and styles, each conveying a slightly different impression upon your intended audience. Images can also be integrated into a logotype, often to great visual effect. Of prime consideration when selecting a logotype or wordmark is legibility and ease of recognition, even when reduced to the size required for printing your business cards. Examples: Bank Islam, Nokia FedEx, Toshiba, Sharp, Canon, Utusan Malaysia, Dunhill and Harian Metro

Combination Marks
Combination Marks are graphics with both text and a symbol/icon that signifies the brand image that you wish to project for your company or organization. Concise text can complement an icon or symbol, providing supplemental clarity as to what your enterprise is all about. There are integrated and stand alone combination marks. For instance, Starbucks logo has the text with the graphic integrated, whereas the AT&T logo has the icon separate from the text. Examples: Pos Malaysia, Universiti Malaya, Tabung Haji, Matrade, Proton, Tourism Malaysia, Tenaga Nasional and Seven Eleven.
