They are not simply artworks; "an icon is a sacred image used in religious devotion". The most common subjects include Christ, Mary, saints and angels. Although especially associated with portrait-style images concentrating on one or two main figures, the term also covers most of the religious images in a variety of artistic media produced by Eastern Christianity, including narrative scenes, usually from the Bible or the lives of saints. | | ---- | ---- | | | wikipedia:: [Icon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon) | | ![img \|150](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/NASA%2BIBM%2BBIPM_logos.svg/320px-NASA%2BIBM%2BBIPM_logos.svg.png) | A **Logo** is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or to include the text of the name that it represents as in a wordmark. | | | wikipedia:: [Logo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo) | [[Symbol]] Patterns ## macOS Icons - [[Design#Symbols Icons Logos]] - https://www.lifewire.com/personalize-mac-by-changing-desktop-icons-2260911 - Most of the sites, such as Iconfactory, supply their icons in the form of empty folders that have the icon already applied to them. You can copy the icons to other folders and drives. But I think that when the icons are stored this way they are not synced with Dropbox or iCloud Drive. So you will lose them if you count on them being synced to a new computer e.g. which is what happened to me. One of the only things I am aware of that you can lose from a cloud storage solution. Maybe tags too? - macOS Native ICNS Icon Format - https://www.lifewire.com/icns-file-2621787 - Requires slightly different process than the normal copy and paste in the Get Info panel.
