Chapter 19: Emblems and Characters

The final chapter of the showcase section presents emblems or logos featuring illustrated characters. Emblems are sometimes confused with wordmarks because they sometimes include a word or series of words, but they’re enclosed in or surrounded by an assisting shape. Emblems also may include pictorial elements, including illustrated characters.
