"Artist Bank Itabashi" Logo Design
Client: Itabashi Culture and International Exchange Foundation
Tools: Hand-drawn, Adobe Illustrator
Itabashi Ward in Tokyo is twinned with Burlington City in Ontario, Canada. Having lived in Itabashi, I became a member of 'Artist Bank Itabashi' and was tasked with designing the organization's logo. I combined the curved shape of Itabashi with the initial 'A' of 'Artist' to create the logo for 'Artist Bank Itabashi'.
Multiple lines, reminiscent of musical staffs, extend from the bridge, transforming into musical notes. Additionally, from these same lines, I extended brush strokes to evoke the imagery of calligraphy and paintings. This represents the connection between artists in Itabashi Ward, expressing the hope that art will flourish across all genres from this location.
The design was also used for the banners at the 'Itabashi Ward Citizens Festival' held in October 2022 and for decorations inside Uniqlo Itabashi Hasune store.
