I'm sorry but, this was 100% my first reaction:

Are those I's? L's? 1's? Roman number for 3? Especially since it contains an uppercase I next to two lowercase l's and then a lowercase l.

Maybe if you left the starting I as a lowercase i at least it'd be readable...



Very interesting feedback. So we should spell it illico ?


Look at your own iphone screenshots. Does it say IIIico or lllico? I'm not sure if it's important but given the phone font it's a no-go.


illico is definitely more readable than Illico.


Although the 4 straight lines next to each other are also difficult to read. Having a differently shaped letter in there would help readability (people may think it's spelled "ilico").

Also, "illico" seems to be quite an overloaded term if you search for it on google.
