Sato says he designed the logo with the image in mind of a Japan that overcomes the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disaster and is reborn as a stronger, more creative and confident nation — the “next Japan.”
The logo is to be used for products and software related to Cool Japan operations undertaken by government agencies and private corporations.
Sato has led a number of branding and design projects for musicians, companies, schools and other entities. He created the red and white Uniqlo logos.
