Does a logo design function as a mask? I would say that in most of the cases it surely does. If you think about it, a mask would always emphasize certain characteristics, usually the strong ones that no one could overlook and leave aside other characteristics that most of us wouldn't notice. A logo design would do exactly the same for a company, organization or individual. It would take the best features and point them out so that everyone could see and appreciate them. A mask would use symbolism and color to transmit a certain feeling and a logo design would not be far behind in that area. A mask would not always emphasize the best features though, while a logo design would always strive to do just that.
