sign, symbol, logo, or icon?

A sign is basically something (like a figure or gesture) that represents something else and has a special meaning.
A symbol often deals with double meanings. They can be objects or characters that stand for a certain idea or concept, but there is often the literal translation as well as a more cryptic one.
A logo is meant to be easily recognisable. It is some sort of graphical image that can be combined with a specific font to identify a brand or trademark.
And lasty, an icon is an object or image that represents something else usually of greater importance.
