ABSTRACT

Meeting a person in a business context, a typical introductory activity (or a ritual to be completed upon adjourning the meeting) will be an exchange of business cards. Typically, the most prominent and distinctive feature of a business card is the organizational logo. Upon receiving a letter from a company representative, printed on their official letterhead paper, a prominent and distinctive visual feature of the letter would be the organizational logo on the letterhead. Browsing the Internet, looking at web pages of organizations, a logo will be positioned in a central, focal point, as if to set the tone of the “virtual place.”
