graphic sign,symbol, emblem
Explanation:
A logo may be designed using either a purely graphic sign (symbol) or may from an emblem plus text. (The signage of a seal used to stamp/authenticate documents can likewise consist of graphics and text.) In your case, the logo is composed from both graphic and textual elements. I think you can choose between a graphic symbol or emblem, depending on the context.
