A cultural icon is an artifact that is recognised by members of a culture or sub-culture as representing some aspect of cultural identity. Cultural icons vary widely, and may be visual, audio, an object, a person or group of people, etc.
In the media, many items of popular culture have been called "iconic" despite their lack of durability. Some commentators believe that the word is overused or misused.
A web-based survey was set up in 2006 allowing the public to nominate their ideas for national icons of England and the results reflect the range of different types of icon associated with an English view of English culture.
Some examples are:
Matryoshka dolls are seen internationally as cultural icons of Russia.
Dota 2 is a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed and published by Valve Corporation. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux in July 2013, following a Windows-only public beta testing phase that began in 2011, and is the stand-alone sequel to Defense of the Ancients (DotA), a mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion pack, The Frozen Throne. Dota 2 is one of the most actively played games on Steam, with maximum peaks of over a million concurrent players.
Dota 2 is played in matches between two five-player teams, each of which occupies a stronghold in a corner of the playing field. A team wins by destroying the other side's "Ancient" building, located within the opposing stronghold. Each player controls one of 111 playable "Hero" characters that feature unique powers and styles of play. During a match, the player collects gold, items, and experience points for their Hero, while combating Heroes of the opposite team.

Emma Lazarus (July 22, 1849 – November 19, 1887) was an American poet born in New York City.
She is best known for "The New Colossus", a sonnet written in 1883; its lines appear inscribed on a bronze plaque in the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty installed in 1903, a decade and a half after Lazarus's death.
Lazarus was born into a large Sephardic Jewish family, the fourth of seven children of Moses Lazarus and Esther Nathan, The Lazarus family was originally from Portugal and had settled in New York long before the American Revolution. Lazarus's great-great grandmother on her mother's side, Grace Seixas Nathan (born in New York in 1752) was also a poet. Lazarus was also related through her mother to Benjamin N. Cardozo, Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court.
From an early age, she studied American and British literature, as well as several languages, including German, French, and Italian. Her writings attracted the attention of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
She was also an early admirer of Henry George, and was a part of his Single Tax movement for a number of years.

https://democracynow.org - Opposition is growing to the Trump administration’s new proposal to implement radical changes to U.S. immigration law and slash the number of immigrants allowed into the United States by half. The RAISE Act would create a so-called merit-based immigration system that would favor applicants who speak English, have advanced degrees or can demonstrate job skills. On Wednesday, CNN’s Jim Acosta pressed senior policy adviser Stephen Miller over President Trump’s push to admit only English-speaking immigrants in a back-and-forth that lasted for several minutes. Acosta asked Miller about the iconic poem "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus that is inscribed at the base of the State of Liberty, which reads: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to br...

Visions from above
Father's son on high
Sharing all his love
He's the one to make you fly
Christ the redeemer - an icon for mankind
Atop the corcovado mountain sky
Both his arms are open wide
Inviting you to see the light
open-heartedness - old virtues come alive
There is magic in the air
Enter on a higher sphere
Existential interlink between yourself and holy god
Turn around and look through my eyes
You may find the world's archetype
Distinct viewpoint of the world
Longing for a rest in peace
Moses brought the ten commandments to be learned
Watch me, touch me - I'm error-free, there can be no doubt
You're gonna see the world through different eyes
Different eyes are gonna change the world - you just have to
Turn around and look through my eyes
You may find the world's archetype - the holy ghost
Corco - corcovado, corco - corcovado
Corco - corcovado, corco - corcovado
Visions from above
Father's son on high
Sharing all his love
Standing there with open arms
Christ the redeemer - icon for mankind
Atop the corcovado mountain sky
Christ the redeemer - monument of hope, so high
Can you feel the magic high and low
Watch me, touch me - I'm error-free, there can be no doubt
You're gonna see the world through different eyes
Different eyes are gonna change the world
Turn around and look through my eyes
