Sprite Sheet
Sprite sheets combine multiple frames of an animation sequence into one graphic file. Software increments the X and Y pixel coordinates, within the graphic file, to display frames in order. Sprite sheet software displays individual frames within a sprite sheet based on canvas mouse or touch points.
As you move your finger, or mouse, across the display screen, code calculates which frame to display.

Logo Versus Symbol
Often people use the term logo
instead of symbol
.
However logo
usually involves a brand's name in a specific font separate from, or along with,
a standalone symbol
. For example the text which says Nike
,
can stand apart from the well known Nike, swoosh
. The Nike swoosh
represents Nike
quickly and easily, apart
from the text.
The swoosh
alone is the symbol. The Nike
text is the logo.
