Corporate Logo and Brand Mark
Corporate Logo
The triangle in the logo represents a blast furnace and the people who create steel. It
reflects the fact that steel, indispensable for civilization, brightens the world. The center
point can be viewed as a peak, which represents the best steelmaker. It can be also
viewed as the destination of a road, which represents the unlimited future of steel as a
material. The blue color represents leading technology and reliability.
Brand Mark
The brand mark is a combination of the corporate mark and the English logo. The
font used in English is a roundish typeface, representing a strong but yet flexible
image of steel.
We unify the use of the brand mark across the group to further strengthen our collective capabilities.
