03 Logos & Usage

Wordmark case

MonkeyZoo or Monkeyzoo?

Consistency in how we present our brand name is crucial for building brand recognition and awareness. After careful consideration, we have decided to use “MonkeyZoo” as the official spelling of our brand name across all communications and marketing materials.

Arguments for “MonkeyZoo”:

  1. Clarity: By capitalizing both “Monkey” and “Zoo,” we create a clear visual distinction between the two words, making it easier for readers to recognize and remember our brand name.
  2. Professionalism: The capitalization of both words lends a more professional and polished appearance to our brand name, which aligns with our goal of creating a high-quality and trustworthy brand image.
  3. Consistency with logo: Our logo features the words “Monkey” and “Zoo” in with capital letters, emphasizing the distinction between the two words. By writing “MonkeyZoo” with both words capitalized, we maintain consistency between our logo and our written brand name.

In summary, always use “MonkeyZoo” when referring to our brand in text, and ensure that this styling is applied consistently across all platforms and materials. By doing so, we reinforce our brand identity and make it easier for our audience to recognize and connect with us.

Additionally, “FusionZoo” should be used, instead of “Fusionzoo”.
