Take a football team as an example:

x1 (the group): Manchester United F.C.

x2 (the common property): playing football, the team colours/uniforms

x3 (the set): Premier League, UEFA Champions League, World Club Championship

x4 (the relation): the grounds/stadiums (e.g. Old Trafford), the
sponsorships (e.g. Nike)

The logo can be either x2 (as on every member's uniform) or x4 (as a design).
