用法筆記

Logo is a shortened form of 'logotype', which originally meant a single piece of type holding a whole word. Today it refers to any identifying graphic symbol. The combining form 'logo-' (from Greek 'logos' meaning 'word, speech, reason') appears in related words such as 'logotype', 'logogram' (a symbol that stands for a whole word), and 'logorrhea' (excessive or uncontrollable talking).
