Sumario:This paper presents the typical sign of identity--the logotype--used by Spanish media in Spain during the first decade of the twenty-first century. The logotype was defined after studying a sample of 130 visual signs of corporate identity either designed or re-designed before 2010. The analysis of the signs was carried out using a tool designed as part of the doctoral research to measure trends in the visual sign of corporate identity. The results show a trend in the sample which fits the description of the index--according to Peirce--in which the communicative values of the context of use predominate. This tendency highlights a denotative form of representation, which we interpret as the need to anchor ourselves to the AFK reality (away from the keyboard reality) which nowadays is digital, interactive and changing.
