WOMEN’S RUGBY

  • Ahead of the biggest ever Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2025, World Rugby has asked us to develop a refreshed brand, one that is
    a statement of intent for the women’s game as it continues
    to experience accelerated growth globally.

    The ‘W’ and ‘O’ are connected to signify women with their arm around a rugby ball, creating a central narrative that the two are constantly connected. It represents all women and girls
    in our sport through a consistent, modern positioning of the women’s game, making it global, accessible and fun. An inclusive sport that is prepared for the future.

J.League

  • The game is not only in the field, a different game is playing off the field, which is the sports business strategy game. This is the e-book and the hard-copy book to tell J. League's business strategy. This should be showcased like an exciting football game. The energetic visuals speak sports enthusiasm along with colourful and punchy infographics to meet sports photography. It also supports the comprehension of the sports business side in an attractive manner.

PEELER

  • Peeler has a philosophy of ‘imagining an inner being’. Its clothes have a long fastening open/closing style, much like peeling a banana or an apple. PEELER is against a current age that seems too instant and superficial.

    The brand identity cutting the centre of the letter based on its fasteners. I took the photography that gives the feeling something inside, and its mixing with Japanese and English typography showcasing the message quietly but strongly.

DAILY TOHOKU

  • Re-born.
    The Daily Tohoku Newspaper asked us to design their corporate identity. It was their 70th anniversary and also 70 years since World War II had ended so changing the corporate identity was very important at that time. As it was announced to their customers to promise their commitment to trusted journalism, and to be re-born as the best local newspaper, once again.

    Bloom again.
    The unique logotype combined English and Japanese typography symbolising both the global and local perspectives. Chrysanthemum logo was based on a globe design and the 3D appearance was to communicate their journalism from all angles. And it showing their determination to bloom again as the best local newspaper.

    A wrapping newspaper advertisement that inside is a written their history and passionate spirit for the 70th anniversary as a teaser.
