Reportedly, logo for plate clashed? (6)
I believe the answer is:
cymbal
'plate clashed?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'reportedly logo' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'logo' becomes 'symbol' (I've seen this before).
'symbol' sounds like 'CYMBAL'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cymbal that I've seen before include "One of a pair of brass plates clashed together" , "clashing instrument" , "One of a pair of brass musical instruments" , "Disc of metal struck by a percussionist" , "Crashing instrument" .)
