Designing an attitude to face questions that have no answers.
Designing an attitude to face questions that have no answers.
We were in charge of brand design for PATHFINDER, an R&D team that exists within AOI TYO Holdings. As expressed in the name “PATHFINDER,” we devised a brand image inspired by the image of activities like space exploration, where there is a mission with no known answers.
The logomark took its motif from the mission patch, and the logotype was created using a custom font. Although no specific visuals exist, the logomark, logotype, and coloring express the brand’s worldview, and have expanded to be used on a variety of equipment, including business cards, stickers, letterheads, and websites.
