brandmark

Corporate identity mark

A brandmark is the visual symbol or logo that represents a company or product, distinct from the wordmark (the stylized name).

The Nike swoosh and Apple's apple are brandmarks—recognizable without accompanying text.

In marketing, brandmark often emphasizes the graphic element that can stand alone: Their brandmark works at any size.
