About A Inc Corporate Identity
A Inc is a corporate identity program created for a company based in Tokyo. The identity is built around a single letter A formed from colored stripes. The stripes represent the energy and potential of every person involved with the company. The overlapping stripes show how the company takes shape through a diversity of preferences. The identity is applied to business cards and envelopes, and each person can select a favorite color. Envelope colors can be matched to recipients. The logo is embossed to keep the strong colors subtle.
