Secondly, minimalism. A good logo is not only meaningful but also simple and minimalist. If a brand’s letter mark is minimalist, consumers can easily recognize and remember it.
Thirdly, uniqueness. While there are only 26 letters in the alphabet, your brand can still be unique and stand out with a logo.
Fourthly, convenience. Single-letter logos are great for just about any organization, especially ones that have a long name.

Don’t be tempted to fill empty spaces with a letter mark. Instead, consider utilizing white space. White space can help define a letter mark. Ivenin_maxim’s work proves just that.
Notice the white space within the outline of the R. Not only the letter becomes more defined and noticeable, but it also looks clean and sophisticated. Better still, it makes the letter mark pleasing to the eyes, too. White space also keeps the design simple and removes any clutter.
