Research: Asahi Beer, FTV & Jomo by Saul Bass
Logo Histories' Research Archive Issue 29
In Issue 29 of Logo Histories’ Research Archive we have assets from the Asahi beer rebrand from 1986, which is still in use. The logo and graphic elements for Japanese television station FTV and Japan Energy Corporation designed by Toshihiro Yamaguchi & Hiroyuki Kita, with Saul Bass as a consultant.
Research Archive is a look at some of the materials I’ve picked up to write Logo Histories. If you’d like to support this project and access our Logo Histories archive which now includes 100+ stories of logo design of the past (the biggest of its kind) as well as receiving new stories straight to you inbox, click the button below and upgrade to paid.
