TEXAS ICONS
Icon - noun. Origin: Latin, from Greek eikōn, “image.”
An image, picture, or representation; a sign or likeness
that stands for an object either concretely or by analogy.
Icon is also used, particularly in modern culture,
to denote a symbol - i.e. a name, face, picture, or edifice.
An icon may also represent a person readily recognized as
having societal status or embodying certain qualities
that portray a greater significance through literal or
figurative meaning, usually associated with
religious, cultural, political, or economic standing.
