DEFINITION of 'Logo'. A graphical mark used to identify a company, organization, product or brand. Logos can be displayed along side - or in lieu of - a company's name in order to generate awareness of the company's association with a particular product or service.
Since a logo is the visual entity signifying an organization, logo design is an important area of graphic design. A logo is the central element of a complex identification system that must be functionally extended to all communications of an organization. Therefore, the design of logos and their incorporation in a visual identity system is one of the most difficult and important areas of graphic design.
