It's called a wordmark. Fedex has one. Google has one. A brand can use type alone for their identity. I'm not saying that UA/CO should do that; Frontier does that and it's just fine.

However, I think it's an atrocious idea to think that combining the CO globe and UA tulip together looks good and would be a lasting brand. They just don't work together. Either pick the UA brand (name and logo) or the CO brand (name and logo), but mixing the two is not the way branding works.
