In this article, we will continue with our alphabet adventure, diving into those charming, sometimes challenging, letters from Hippy H’s to Noteworthy N’s.

We have prepared some tips, tricks, and a sprinkle of creative humor to guide you through as you design and make brand-defining letter logos.
Logo Design Ideas, Tips, and Tricks for Logo Letters H to N
Not everyone can think like a logo designer. Either you’ve got a hidden talent for collecting and weaving random thoughts into a cohesive image that best represents an idea (your brand), or you spent years understanding the basics and perfecting the craft.
While an AI-powered logo generator can whip up logos within minutes, it would still require your thoughts (or inputs). After all, even a well-oiled machine with the latest in AI technology still demands human intervention.
That’s what we’re here for! Here’s our second installment of logo design ideas, tips, and tricks purposely curated for the letters H to N.
Letter H is for Heroic
Flip it sideways, invert it any way you like, tweak its legs, and the letter H remains tall, strong, and symmetrical, this letter makes a perfect logo. Just look at many buildings and infrastructure like bridges and towers. There’s a good chance you’ll see the letter H somewhere (two legs and a horizontal connector).
And when we think of these structures, we always conjure images of strength, stability, balance, and durability. That’s the enduring power of the letter H, like a superhero ready to leap off the page. Here’s how to make your H heroic!
- Think of the H’s two legs as sturdy upright structures, like the Greek Parthenon’s Doric columns, the Golden Gate Bridge’s towers, or even two imposing oak trees.
- Play with negative space, like that between the legs and above and below the horizontal line.
- You could turn one leg into a tree branch and its leaf as the connector to the other leg.
- Turn the horizontal line into something more curvaceous, like the Hilton Hotels’ classic H logo.
- Try softening one leg while strengthening the other.
- Experiment with clever spacing, font pairings, and color choices to elevate your H logo from basic to brilliant.

Letter I is for Iconic
Why do the simplest things are the most challenging to change or tweak? For instance, how do you turn a vertical line into a stunning work of art without drowning the line in other details? That’s the issue with the letter “I”. It’s essentially a straight line sticking from an imaginary ground and jutting skyward. But therein lies the magic. Its simplicity makes “I” a blank canvas for creativity, turning it into an iconic logo for your brand.
- Play with “I’s” thickness – thin, thick, medium-width.
- Add geometric elements. You could break down a thick “I” into triangles, squares, and rectangles.
- Transform the dot (in case of the lowercase “i”) into a symbol (a flame, leaf, star, diamond, or a small sun).
- Add serifs to give “I” a more classic look.
- Enclose the “I” in a shape like the “information” icon travelers love. You could try a circle, triangle, square, or even an irregular shape. Think of how such geometric forms convey your brand’s unique message.

Letter J is for Jazzy
The letter J is always inviting, with a natural flair that seems perpetually ready to swing to some smooth, classy jazz. Its playful curve is always a magnet for the eyes, making it an exceptional shape with endless design possibilities, from sharp, modern angles to fun, playful curls. You can go classic, too! Just look at Johnson & Johnson’s double-J logo in cursive delight. One look and you know what this brand stands for. Here are some tips for your jazzy J.
- Emphasize the hook. After all, the tail is the letter J’s signature feature. You could make it bold, turn it into a swoosh, or stylize it to draw attention. Some might want to elongate, flip, or tilt the hook for a more dynamic feel.
- Add some color gradients, especially to the J’s stem. How about a shadow to highlight J’s curvaceous silhouette and give it that extra groove?
- Experiment with serifs to make your J feel more classic and elegant. You can try positioning them to achieve the best effects.
- Look at J’s inner curve. It could be a natural receptacle or nest for different symbols like a smile, a coffee cup handle, or even a hook. Use
- your imagination to transform J’s negative space into an eye-catching element.
- Try turning the J into a question mark shape to achieve a mysterious yet playful feel.

Letter K is for Kinetic
The letter K is a favorite of speed demons and other brands that cannot seem to stay put in their places. After all, with its dynamic structure and sharp angles, the letter K practically screams energy and movement. For instance, the two slanted legs meeting at the leg’s midpoint is like an arrowhead, making the letter K the alphabet’s Mercury or sprinter. It’s ready to burst into action at any moment. So, how do you harness K’s kinetic energy?
- Highlight the angles. K is naturally structured and sharp, making it exceptional for playing with geometric shapes. Just look at FedEx’s logo. Sure, it doesn’t have a K ,but there’s a hidden arrow between E and x, embodying the brand’s penchant for moving cargo forward. You can introduce the same “arrow” design in your K to depict your brand’s forward momentum (a futuristic ideal, maybe?).
- Try contrasting colors or a mixture of bold and thin broken lines to emphasize motion and dynamism.
- Make the diagonal stand out by playing with its thickness or gradient.
- Go for an asymmetric K to convey energy, although a symmetric K will always stand out as strong and bold.
- Play with the vertical and diagonal lines. For instance, you could create a lightning bolt for the upper slant or a cool, organic flow for the lower diagonal.

Letter L is for Legendary
The letter L might look a boring right angle, but don’t be fooled by its simplicity. This letter’s design potential is legendary, allowing you to create the perfect brand story by leveraging L’s clean, minimalist foundation.
For instance, LinkedIn’s signature logo can be confusing for some because they only see the letters “i" and “n.” However, the blue box’s right side forms the quintessential L with its border with the letter “i.” It’s a straightforward L that conveys LinkedIn’s professional focus and approachability. So, how do you make your L legendary?
- Look at L as a sturdy frame (like LinkedIn’s) or anchor for other design elements. For instance, you could try merging the L with a checkmark, a lightning bolt, or a leaf.
- Experiment with proportions to achieve the desired messaging. For example, a super-tall L looks elegant and refined, while a wide and short L feels bold and strong.
- Be creative with the L’s sharp corner by bending it a bit to hold your brand’s symbol. Alternatively, you can extend it into a unique shape.
- Play with negative space, orientation, and thickness to give your L logo a legendary status.

Letter M is for Majestic
Like two mountain peaks towering through the clouds, the letter M symbolizes strength and enduring power. It has symmetrical grace few letters can match, and its crests are open to many design tweaks. After all, the letter M is the alphabet’s Mt. Everest – imposing, majestic, and impossible to ignore. Just look at McDonald’s golden arches – a global symbol, not merely a letter. Here’s how to make your letter M logo majestic, too.
- Try to exaggerate the angles by making them wavy or in lightning bolt-like forms.
- Experiment with bold lines to convey confidence, balance, and strength.
- Break the middle, make it dip lower than the legs, or curve the center for a unique look. You could even shape it into a heart if that what your brand wants to convey.
- Double or triple your M for a techy, futuristic vibe.
- Play with colors, textures, gradients, and other design elements. Adding a crown or the sun to one of the peaks should turn your M into a majestic logo.

Letter N is for Noteworthy
From Netflix, Netscape, and Nespresso to Nintendo 64, New Jersey Devils, and Northwest Airlines, the letter N is a noteworthy letter logo for well-established brands. It conveys connection, where a diagonal line bridges two vertical lines to add movement and flair. Here’s how to make your N logo noteworthy and responsive.
- Take inspiration from notable brands like Netflix, styling the N like a neatly folded or twisted ribbon.
- Play with diagonal dynamics, making the center pop with textures, gradients, and colors different from the legs. You could add a lightning bolt motif or a staircase.
- Experiment with shadows and layers to give the N an extra pop.
- You can combine uppercase and lowercase Ns to give your N logo a surprising and fresh look.
- Consider breaking the N into geometric shapes and adding textural elements to each.
