The Design

About Hiroshima Terrace Huisstijl

De Hiroshima Terrace drukt zijn identiteit uit via een puur ruitpatroon. Geïnspireerd door het erfgoed van Hiroshima als de 'stad van water' en ooit de 'stad van de karper', verenigt het ontwerp de sierlijke vorm van de Japanse karper met de symbolische kleuren van Mitsubishi—plaats en merk samengevoegd tot één harmonieuze visie.

Unique Properties: The logo for the in-house space for communication (HIROSHIMA TERRACE) creates a shape similar to the torii gate of Miyajima, so it can emphasize the uniqueness of Hiroshima. And also, the reason why it uses the carp shape is that Hiroshima has long been called the city of water, and that it was also called "the city of carp" because carp lived there. Therefore, we have tried overlapping it with the image of Nishikigoi wearing the Mitsubishi colors to express both Hiroshima and Mitsubishi.

Design Challenge: the reason why it uses the carp shape is that Hiroshima has long been called the city of water and that it was also called "the city of carp" because carp lived there. Therefore, we have tried overlapping it with the image of Nishikigoi (a brocade carp) wearing the Mitsubishi colors "red, black, and white" to express both Hiroshima and Mitsubishi.
Research: This is the visual identity, the sign, or the artwork for the office space.
It has developed with the keyword "from Hiroshima to the world". The logo for the in-house space for communication (HIROSHIMA TERRACE) uses its initial HT and creates a shape similar to the torii(Shinto shrine archway) gate of Miyajima, so it can emphasize the uniqueness of Hiroshima.
Inspiration: This poster is expressed only in the shape of a diamond.
The ripples of water represent the spread to the world.
In addition, the carp is also said to be the "incarnation of the dragon" and represents the regal presence.
We expressed the Mitsubishi Corporation "Incarnation of a dragon" expanding "from Hiroshima to the world", and made it a poster as the artwork.

Operation Flow: This is the sign of each room of the Mitsubishi Corporation Hiroshima branch
