Did you know Humans,prior to written language, as early as 350 BC were using monograms as a means of identification. In ancient times, monograms were used to sign art works or coins. In the middle ages their use spread widely as a signature. It's imporant to remember that most kings and emperors were not able to write or even to sign their own name!



Monograms were used by the Greeks and Romans who marked their coins with the initials of the ruler of the region and then later added to mark valuable items of the royalty to show their place in high society.

Today the traditional monogram is three initials, the first name initial , followed by the last name initial (centered and larger) and finally, the middle initial. The earliest monograms were just a two intitials.
