The JOSM "Presets" provides a lot of "hints" on how to tag small, common businesses. Unfortunately, I haven't found it or any of the Wikis particularly helpful for tagging large, exotic manufacturing businesses in a manner that would be useful in my community. I would like to provide a lot of information but only want an "artistic" DOT or even ICON and the company name displayed exactly like small, common businesses. The best I have been able to do is to get the six-digit street number displayed in the approximate location where I placed the Node for the company's entrance to a building or the building they want non-employees to use. What do I have to do to get just a DOT/ICON with ONLY the company's name nearby? I assume that "amenity=factory" maybe is the best approach? But, what else do I need? Without this ability, OSM is of marginal value to businesses/residents of Silicon Valley because we usually navigate by Names rather than street numbers even if it is "drive by Apple's Spaceship" to get to your destination.

One Answer:
Factories are usually under the more general For custom renderings you may want to see whether Mapbox has managed to devise a view that is more than marginally useful for getting to their San Francisco office. answered 27 May '20, 23:49  InsertUser "man_made=works" renders just like I want (and, I assume, the "artistic" ICON will magically appear in a day or two). I either misunderstood the little information I could find in the Wikis or the information was incorrect.

There is
landuse=industrial+industrial=factory(general, unspecificed generic case) for a whole area, which can contain multiple "factories" (man_made=works)
