Monogram (or initials[1] or JHC[2]) is a period-4 oscillator that was found by Dean Hickerson on August 11, 1989.[3] It produces some weak sparks which can be utilized in e.g. the stabilization of the carnival shuttle.

It first appeared semi-naturally in September 2014 in a soup found by Josh Ball using apgsearch.[4] It later appeared in an asymmetric soup on May 5, 2015.[5]

Ivan Fomichev found a 12-glider synthesis for a monogram based on an asymmetric soup on October 18, 2015.[6] This was reduced to 8 gliders by GUYTU6J using another soup on May 22, 2021,[7][8] and then to 7 gliders by MathAndCode on July 28, 2021.[9][10]
