Objects and signs have a physical similarity, which is put across by the iconic relationship.

The perpetual resemblance can also be signified by the icons enhancing fast recognition of the objects such as the image of a smiley face which represents a human being (Rajendran and Kumar, 2015). The black image outline of a gorilla and a human-like shape is a distinct representation of a gorilla and a boy. The gorilla seems to be walking together with the kid to an unknown destination.
