'gain access' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'emblem and name' is the wordplay.
'emblem' becomes 'logo' (I've seen this before).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'logo'+'n'='LOG-ON'

'using' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for log on that I've seen before include "Prepare to surf, perhaps?" , "access network" , "what the lumberjack's lorry may have?" , "Access the Internet" , "Enter online program" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
