The apple logo is a good example of of a logo that is simple but recognizable as apple no matter how the colors change. The shape is always the same and doesn't require words to let the consumer know that it's obviously apple.

A sign gives a directional and informational representation visually, such as a stop sign. A symbol is more general and is just a representation of something, such as the symbol of a peace sign. Those two are interchangeable in a way like in a girl's bathroom sign is a representation of a female but is also instructional. A logo is something that is designed usually for a company or organization that needs an easily recognizable symbol specifically for them. The target symbol is just a regular symbol, but the company made the two ring red target as an logo for their store. An icon is a symbol and a logo in a way but usually for a purpose such as religion or to suggest something intangible.
