Morphology

logographer = logograph (semi-transparent) = logo + graph + er

Adding -er to 'logograph' is a regular agentive formation, but the base itself is a learned classical term.

Etymology

Logographer comes from the Greek parts logos 'speech' or 'word' and graph 'to write'. Think of autograph or photograph, where graph means 'write' or 'record', so a logographer can be someone who writes speeches or words for another person.
