I have a logo that resides in this category:

Combination mark

When a symbol and a wordmark fall in love, they make a logo. More specifically, a combination mark (a traditional logo) is comprised of a type-based and a graphic-based mark. - UX Collective - Symbol, emblem, wordmark: A comprehensive guide to logo types

Is it ok to only use the wordmark without the symbol/icon of the full logo(icon/symbol + wordmark)?

If yes, can you provide some examples of brands that have done that?

    Since you're using an existing logo, you should refer to its branding guide. Typically this will include if you can use the wordmark separately.

  • I don't know if I have enough knowledge to write an answer but I just made a graphic this morning for Capella University where they asked me to separate the symbol from the Word Mark to use in 2 different graphics. I agree with the above comment, I imagine the brand guidelines would let you know if you can do this.

  • Depends on who might object. . . Who owns the logo? Who made it - you or someone else? Are there brand guidelines to follow? Did your client ask you to modify it? etc, etc. There are too many unknowns here to give you a yes or no.

  • My Client is going through a transformation of his brand.. the logo was created by someone else and there are very few brand guidelines. In this case I will consult with the person that created the logo. Still I wanted to generally know if this has been done before.
