Initials with periods or not?

by BoJon

I have to come up with a business name with initials? What do you think, should I include periods or not? Like:

XX Marketing
or
X.X. Marketing

Let say that X doesn't have to be X.

How would you have done?

    Random question, but no periods looks tacky

    I think you can do it either way, I doubt anyone will care.

    For initials, it's usually best to go with periods to clarify the separate words or names imo.

    I think no periods would probably be good unless there are two separate names involved.

      Yes, there's gonna be two separate names. I'm gonna use two of my names.

        So someone says no periods looks tacky and someone says periods looks tacky. Make up your mind ;-)

        Maybe periods looks a bit old school, but anyway using periods may be more "by the book" since it's gonna be two separate names.
