Is there a word for when a logo uses an image for one or more of its letters?

There's a million examples of this, but the one that comes to mind is "smoke shop" with images of pipes in place of the "S"s, like this:
Is there a word for this? (It's not a rebus!)
I often see it in lazy or sometimes terrible graphic design. "Visual pun" comes close, but in many cases there doesn't seem to be any punning at all, or maybe they're just unfunny. In the worst cases, the word is rendered nearly incomprehensible or ambiguous.
More examples, all of which are fairly "punny". (I can't find any examples of the unfunny/downright-incomprehensible ones, sorry.)

Hey Danielillo, "Semantization" isn't an English word as far as I know. I've never heard it, and it's not in the OED, or in Merriam-Webster.

😠😂 🤣 This time I have no any excuse because it does not exist in Spanish either; semantization is the word we used in the university when referring to this type of designs. What do you propose as an alternative?

Many of these examples are not relevant to the actual question, and they make it for a rather overwhelming list. I'd suggest you remove the examples that don't specifically address the case in the original question to make the answer easier to read.
