If your brand only has one version of its logo, it's going to be hard to reach true iconic status. ๐ค
The biggest, most recognizable brands in the world all have multiple logo variations โ that's part of what makes them instantly recognizable in any context, at any size.
The fix: if your main logo is detailed or wide, create a simplified or condensed version for small spaces (app icons, favicons, merchandise). If your logo is minimal, create a bolder, more distinct version for larger applications.
One logo can't do every job. The brands that stick in your memory built a system, not a single mark.
