A '''wordmark''' or '''word mark''' is a text-only statement of the name of a product, service, company, organization, or institution which is used for purposes of identification and branding. A wordmark can be an actual word (e.g., Apple), a made-up term that reads like a word (e.g., iPhone), or an acronym, initialism, or series of letters (e.g., IBM).  In some jurisdictions a wordmark may be [[trademark]]ed, giving it legal distinction, and potentially additional protection of any artistic presentation.
