kivis Posted August 15, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) May I quote Leica's USA website concerning the Black Chrome Leica M-A camera: "its black-colored counterpart reveals the Leica logo on its accessory shoe." Huh? I looked really really close at my accessory shoe and found no Leica logo. A silly typo error. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capuccino-Muffin Posted August 20, 2022 Share #10 Posted August 20, 2022 Well, technically “LEICA” with their own proprietary font represents a Logo. It is indeed a Logo. We expect the red roundel, the stylized letters, but indeed the square LEICA word is a logo on its own. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having read a Leica internal memo with their strict guides on how to use their Logos and how to place them on products and publications. The Word LEICA with their proprietary square font was definitely seen/referred to as a logo. The key being their proprietary font. Here are a few “this would be a font” according to you, but which actually are Logos. They are all proprietary fonts which constitute a logo. Basically, if you recognize it immediately: it’s a logo, even if it’s just a word. Edited August 21, 2022 by Capuccino-Muffin 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has not worked in advertising can stop arguing at this point. The all-caps monospaced L E I C A and L E I C A M-A is not a logo not matter what they say internally. You can call it a type treatment, but it's not a logo. It's not even a badge or emblem – it's just the model name designation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
