Close. More commonly they have a small logo on it. See http://www.chipdocs.com/logos/logotypes.html to work out whose logo it is.

Once you have the manufacturer, you can go to their web site and download a datasheet which tells you basically every little thing about that IC. If you're lucky they'll also have Application Notes which give examples of how the chip can be used.

Even easier, if you have the chip number is to type it into Google and very high up in the results will be links to a datasheet for it. Tells you everything you need to know.
