Reportedly, logo for plate clashed? (6)

I believe the answer is:

cymbal

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

'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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
