The overlapped letters are letters placed one over the other. Earlier you saw overlapping letters with the same color and with different colors.

You can also use transparency to overlap letters by changing the opacity of the letter that is on top. You can also use a gradient and a text shadow with lower opacity.

The cursive fonts and the handwritten fonts are usually joined fonts, so there is no space between the letters.

You can combine letters and turn any font into a joined font. One way to join the letters is to leave no empty space between the letters.

Another way to make combined letters is to join the letters with a line. This line that connects the letters can be placed up, down or on the middle.

For the logos below, I used these free logo fonts: Bebas Neue Font & Michroma Font for the first letter logo and Ribbon Font for the second letter logo.

In the case of the third letter logo, I’ve used the Kaushan Script Font, which is also a free logo font. The letters are connected with a wavy line that has the same color as the letters and a shadow that has the same color as the background. The merge letters logo is a popular technique that many designers use.
