A logo (abbreviation of logotype, from logos "word" and τύπος typos "imprint") is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations, and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition.

There are purely graphic emblems, symbols, icons and logos, which are composed of the name of the organization (a logotype or wordmark).

In typography, a typeface (also known as font family) is a set of one or more fonts each composed of glyphs that share common design features.

Each font of a typeface has a specific weight, style, condensation, width, slant, italicization, ornamentation, and designer or foundry (and formerly size, in metal fonts).

For example, "ITC Garamond Bold Condensed Italic" means the bold, condensed-width, italic version of ITC Garamond.

It is a different font from "ITC Garamond Condensed Italic" and "ITC Garamond Bold Condensed," but all are fonts within the same typeface, "ITC Garamond." ITC Garamond is a different typeface from "Adobe Garamond" or "Monotype Garamond." (These are all alternative updates or digitisations of the typeface Garamond, originally created in the 16th century).

Graphics (from Greek 'graphikos', 'something written' e.g. autograph) are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to inform, illustrate, or entertain.

Images that are generated by a computer are called computer graphics.

A graphic designer is a professional within the graphic design and graphic arts industry who assembles together images, typography, or motion graphics to create a piece of design.

A graphic designer creates the graphics primarily for published, printed or electronic media, such as brochures (sometimes) and advertising.

They are also sometimes responsible for typesetting, illustration, user interfaces, and web design.

A core responsibility of the designer's job is to present information in a way that is both accessible and memorable.

The ampersand is the logogram "&", representing the conjunction word "and".
