EMBLEM

The differences between sign, symbol, sigil, signal, seal and emblem are quite subtle. An emblem stands for something other than itself (e.g. Stars & Stripes, Swastika). A symbol is directly or metaphorically related in itself to that for which it stands -- a kiss is a symbol of love, an elephant is a symbol of power, etc.
