| Icons: An icon is a visual representation of something it resembles. A traffic sign with a picture of a car is an icon of a car. In contrast to this a peace sign is a symbol of peace, a red light is a sign to stop.

Ch.S. Peirce on Icons - Dictionary of Arguments
Berka I 29 Icon/Peirce: degenerate relation between sign and object: mere similarity. I 30 Conclusion/Peirce: needs in addition to symbol (for truth) and index (both together (for sentence formation) the 3rd character: the icon: because inference consists in the observation that where certain relations exist, some other relations can be found. >Conclusion, >Symbols, >Icons, >Relations. These relations must be represented by an icon - e.g. the middle term of the syllogism must actually occur in both premises.(1) >Syllogisms, >Premises. I 35f Icon/logic/Peirce: Icons of logic: 1. Identity formula: x > y (implication) - second switch-over of antecedents (premises) - 3. transitivity of the copula (= modus barbara) -> copy of a final chain - ((s) icons/Peirce/(s): always have to do with representation and observability of similarity). I 37 Icons/logic/Peirce: 4. Icon: negation: b should be so that we can write, b > x whatever x may be, then b is wrong ((s) EFQM) - ..if from the truth of x the falsity of y follows, then, also conversely, from the truth of y follows the falsity of x - 5. Icon: law of excluded third. I 48 Icons/logic/Peirce: 9. Icon: every individual can be considered as a unit class - 10. Icon: complement - 11. Icon: Association - 12. Two distinct classes must differ in at least one element.(1). >Index/Peirce, >Symbol/Peirce, >Signs/Peirce. 1. Ch. S. Peirce, On the algebra of logic. A contribution to the philosophy of notation.
