Daily Record design officer initially lost such a plot? (3-3)

I believe the answer is:

log-log

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a plot?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'daily record design officer initially lost' is the wordplay.
'daily record' becomes 'log' (I've seen this in another clue).
'design officer' becomes 'og' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'initially' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'lost' becomes 'l' (abbreviation in sporting league tables).
'og' after 'l' is 'log'.
'log'+'log'='LOG-LOG'

'such' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
