Ugh.... no.

That symbol was used as Prince's actual stage name for a time. That was when he was called "the artist formerly known as Prince" or, sometimes just "the artist".

Ayu's A symbol is not her stage name, it's just her logo. PLENTY of other artists have logos.

Hanson (their name in a circle pattern), Dream Theater (pretty intricate letter symbol), Alisha's Attic ("Aa" in a circle), The Rolling Stones (mouth), The Ramones (presidential-seal style logo), HIM (the heartagram... thanks to tasking for reminding me of that one ^^).... ALL these groups have logos and there are tons more bands who stylized their name to make a logo (like Kiss and The Pillows).

A logo is just a marketing symbol. Prince's symbol was his actual NAME.

Ayu & Prince have nothing in common (aside, of course, from making some epic pop music over the years), whoever wrote that in wikipedia was very confused (and not particularly educated about other music artists with logos).
