Familiar to many is the EARTH Hiroshima logo, affectionately known as “EARTH-kun.” But what’s the story behind its shape? Who designed it?

The blue circle in the middle, resembling a face, represents the “earth,” EARTH Hiroshima’s motif. The form enclosing the earth is inspired by a memorial monument. The earth is enveloped in an orange monument, symbolizing Hiroshima’s “life force.”

 

– Spreading the world from Hiroshima –

This concept is indeed encapsulated in our logo.

 

The logo was designed by Yukio Heya, President of Eizuya Co., Ltd.

Mr. Heya, a graphic designer, illustrator, and photographer, is a veteran designer who handles a wide range of branding tasks. These include logo design, brochure design, concept proposals, store design, and space coordination. He has created over 200 logo designs for individual stores and startups!
