For instance: brand mark, which is the symbol of a brand. (Like Apple's logo.) Also, according to Oxford: "A line, figure, or symbol made as an indication or record of something." | |
| Mar 31, 2018 at 13:27 | comment | added | Luke Sawczak | "Mark" doesn't mean "symbol", to my knowledge, but "sign, signifier, indicator" are all good, and may proceed from the nature of a boundary: being a legal fiction of sorts, this invisible thing is usually indicated by something else. Also, I wonder if the idea of ownership/propriety in a boundary is the one that influenced French marque, on the other hand. | |
