The "C" in a logo most likely refers to the copyright symbol (©).
When you see a "C" enclosed in a circle, typically accompanied by a name and year, it's a copyright notice. This symbol indicates that the work (which could be the logo itself, or something else the logo represents) is protected by copyright law.
Here's a breakdown:
- © symbol: Indicates copyright protection.
- Copyright holder's name: Identifies the owner of the copyright.
- Year of first publication: Shows when the work was first made available to the public.
Example:
© 2023 [Company Name]
This notice means that [Company Name] claims copyright protection for the work since 2023. This gives the company exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, display, and create derivative works from the logo.
