logo

Corporate visual mark

A logo is a symbol or design that identifies a company, organization, or brand.

Logos appear on products, advertisements, uniforms, and websites as visual shorthand for the entity they represent: The swoosh is Nike's logo.

A logo may incorporate text, imagery, or abstract shapes—often all three.

The word is clipped from logotype.
