Hi,

Can you recommend any good books or online resources on the art of a monogram? I’m quite into this thing and looking for some inspiration. The more creative lettering combinations the better. If you have an example of well designed/crafted monogram please paste it here. Thanks.

My recent ’AG’ one:

That’s sooo 80ies! ;-)

But a creative idea of combining the two.

(I would have never recognised it as AG or GA though. I only saw a winged pyramid)...

Helmut Salden did some wonderful monograms.
Check out his book.
