For example, a company might use any of:

  • thecompany
  • Thecompany
  • TheCompany
  • THeCompany

.. to refer to themselves. I remember learning at one point that there's a term to describe the stylized representation of a word in this way. I believe the word would be used in one of the following ways:

  • Their preferred __ is TheCompany
  • Marketing listed several options for the ___

It's not any of:

  • trademark
  • branding
  • logo
  • typography
  • camelCase
  • snake_case
  • PascalCase

  • Would it be branding?

  • No, it wasn't branding. It was more specific to the text representation

    "capitalization" refers to the way you use capital letters in a word.

Wordmark (or word mark): n. A logotype; a standardized graphic representation of the name of a company or product used for purposes of easy identification. It is is often text with unique typographic treatments. Usually the company name is incorporated together with simple graphic treatments, so that the representation of the word essentially becomes a symbol of the company.

There is

CamelCase. The style of writing by concatenating multiple component words, (i.e., writing without any space between them), while capitalizing the first letter of each word, starting with the first or the second word.

So, in the OP examples, this would be only TheCompany.

    I think OP is looking for a more generic word. CamelCase as used in computing is one particular convention when writing words together with no spaces, but it's not the only possible convention.

    The OP says it is not camelCase.

    @Stucco Yes, but the suggestion was CamelCase, not the ruled-out camelCase. Because, see, it's not like camelCase and CamelCase have anything to do with each other. They're completely different things, like apples and Apples. :)
