The Turkish logo maker.
Turkish uses the Latin alphabet plus six extra letters, and one of them is a genuine trap. Five real examples, and how to get the i right.

What makes a Turkish logo different
Turkish has two different letters where English has one i. The dotted i has the capital İ, and the dotless ı has the capital I. A logo that drops a dot for style, or adds one, changes the word. Işık (light) in capitals is IŞIK, and writing it as ISIK or İŞİK is a spelling error to a Turkish reader.
The other extra letters, Ş, Ğ, Ç, Ö and Ü, add marks above and below the line. They collide with tight line spacing in stacked lockups, and many display typefaces draw them poorly or not at all.
5 Turkish logos. What to refine.
Each logo below is shown exactly as generated, next to the direction behind it and a note on what a designer would change next.
“A calligraphic Turkish wordmark for a bakery called Değirmen, hand-lettered script with the breve on the ğ clearly drawn, wheat gold on deep brown.”
The breve on the ğ is clearly drawn, as asked, and the wheat stalk suits a mill. The script is elaborate; test it on a small bread bag.
“A geometric Turkish monogram for a lighting studio called Işık, built on the dotless capital I, warm white on charcoal.”
The capitals IŞIK are spelled correctly, with dotless I. The glowing ring is a nice idea but relies on a gradient; keep a flat version.
“A Turkish logo for a furniture maker called Çınar, a minimal plane tree symbol beside a clean wordmark with a well-drawn cedilla, forest green on oak.”
ÇINAR is spelled correctly in capitals, with a clear cedilla. The symbol is a leaf rather than a tree; either is fine, but decide which the brand means.
“A Turkish badge logo for a patisserie called Şeker, the wordmark set inside a round pastry seal, rose pink on cream.”
Sweet and fitting, with the Ş clearly drawn. The dotted border and cake are small details; simplify them for a box sticker.
“A clean modern Turkish wordmark for a travel brand called Gökyüzü, umlauts kept clear of the cap height, sky blue on white.”
Three umlauts, all kept clear, and the plane gives it a travel feel. The plane is optional; the wordmark works alone.
What to check in a Turkish logo
- Get the i right. Dotted i and İ, dotless ı and I, are different letters. Check every one, especially in all-caps logos.
- Check the typeface. Make sure it has well-drawn Ş, Ğ and Ç, not marks bolted on afterwards.
- Leave room for the marks. Breves, cedillas and umlauts need space above and below the letters in stacked lockups.
- Mind the domain. Web addresses usually drop Turkish letters. Make sure the plain version still reads as your name.
Naming a Turkish brand
Turkish brand names often use everyday nouns with a warm meaning: Değirmen (mill), Şeker (sugar), Çınar (plane tree). Many include one of the extra letters, which becomes a distinctive detail in the logo.

Good questions.
Why does the dot on the i matter in a Turkish logo?
Turkish has two i letters. The dotted i (capital İ) and the dotless ı (capital I) are different letters, so adding or removing a dot changes the word.
Can I use Turkish letters in my domain name?
Most businesses use a plain version without Ş, Ğ or Ç. Make sure it still reads correctly, and keep the real letters in the logo.
