Is this how it works?
Hi,
When you are mentioning something that is a part of another large thing, the sentential construction should follow the following? Would you say they show a most pervalent usage of this type of phrasal construction?
the logo of an organization
the arm of a person
Those two can be written to refer to a specific organization and person by putting the definite article, llike this (I think):
the logo of the organization
the arm of the person
But, can you think of any sentential situation where this might be proven valid?
a logo of an organization
an arm of a person

The rules for the articles don't change - use "the" if you know which one you are speaking about, and "a" if you don't. Although I would write "An/The organziation's logo" and "A/the person's arm," and not use your "of" construction.

I think you're looking for a situation like these.
-- Something is missing in our collage. It needs something in the upper right corner.
-- Yes, I agree. I think we need something like a logo of an organization -- something like that.
-- Sounds good. So which logo should we use?
