ICON
An Icon sign is a sign that depicts something else or we may say that resembles something, such as photographs of people. An icon can also be illustrative or diagrammatic, for example a ‘no-smoking’ sign. An icon also means "image," but since the early centuries of Christianity, the word "icon" is normally used to refer to images with a religious content, meaning and use.
