In the past the monogram has been used as a sign of
royalty. The Romans and the Greeks both used them on their silver and
gold money to praise their leaders. Then artists started to use
monograms to sign their completed work. In the Victorian era, high
class people used the monogram for their own use as a sign of their
position in that society. Today monograms could be seen on almost
everything like purses, bags, towels and clothes. Towels are maybe one
of the more popular things to get monogrammed. Newly-married people
will sometimes choose recent towels and maybe monogram bathrobes.
You
can look everywhere and probably locate a monogram. Luxury vehicle car
companies occasionally monogram their car's seats. Monograms are
occasionally used for company and business logos, and persons walk all
over with jewelry and bags that have been monogrammed.
In the
past, the guidelines to follow for monogramming were pretty simple and
easy. Monograms for girls had the first on the left, center first on
the right side and finally stitched bigger around the center. Except
these rules don't really apply anymore. A monogram could be playful,
funny, sexy or anything else. The amount of decisions for today is
endless.
