Iwant to know if it is correct to say in English about the landmarks anywhere that they are the "name cards" of the place, like Christ Statue for Brasilia or Double-decker bus for London? Or you can suggest another word instead of "name card" but with the meaning of the name card?
Thank you

Sorry, never heard the expression. Have to agree with the answer above but take that one step further. "The Statute of Liberty is the iconic symbol of New York City." Of course that would be a very subjective statement.

No. The Empire State Building is.

In my estimation, the statue of Liberty is more like a welcoming beacon.

Hmm..I think you mean symbol, or icon.

icon would be a better term to use
