==Other monograms== [[File:UT&T text logo.svg|thumb|100px|The [[University of Texas at Austin|University of Texas]] monogram]] {{see also|Logo}} Some companies and organizations adopt a monogram for a logo, usually with the letters of their [[acronym]]. For example, as well as having an official [[Seal (emblem)|seal]], and the [[Texas Longhorns]] logo, the [[University of Texas at Austin]] uses a "UT" monogram (in the same color as the Longhorns logo, [[burnt orange]]). The [[New York Yankees]] baseball team also uses a monogram on their [[ball cap]] insignia. <!-- (I'm commenting out this bit because it makes no sense. If you can explain, please do. Thanks!) and French [[soccer]] team [[Olympique de Marseille]] use a monogram taken from in funder. --> The [[Consolidated Edison]] logo, with a rounded "E" nested inside a "C", has been described as a "classic emblem."<ref>[[Bloomberg BusinessWeek|BusinessWeek]] online, [https://web.archive.org/web/20050813024652/http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/aug2005/id20050811_494381.htm Con Ed: The Power of a Logo], 11 August 2005.</ref> Many fashion companies have a monogram for a logo, including [[Louis Vuitton]] and [[Fendi]].
