Where did the word logo come from?

The word "logo" is an abbreviated form of the Greek word "logotypos," which means "word" or "symbol." It was first used in the 19th century to refer to a printer's mark or colophon, which is a distinctive symbol or design used by a printer to identify their work. Over time, the term "logo" came to be used more broadly to refer to any graphic design or visual symbol used to represent a company or organization.
