crossdot

Crossdot is a term used in several fields to describe a motif that combines a cross shape with a dot. The term does not refer to a single standardized symbol; its meaning varies with context and usage.

In graphic design and branding, crossdot elements are used as logo marks or icons to convey precision, intersection, or focal attention. The combination of a cross with a central dot creates a compact, high-contrast symbol suitable for small sizes and digital use.

In signage, diagrams, and technical illustrations, a cross-dot can serve to mark a center point, a point of contact, or a reference location where lines converge.

In typography and iconography, crossdots may appear as decorative ligatures or as part of pictographic systems, though such usage is nonstandard and varies by typeface or design tradition.

In digital interfaces, a crossdot-inspired icon can denote actions such as alignment, centering, or target selection, with appearance adapted to platform guidelines.

Because the concept spans multiple domains without a single canonical form, references to crossdot are typically accompanied by the domain or example where it appears.
