Research: SEIYU, GKN & Kirin
Logo Histories' Research Archive Issue 31.
In Issue 31 of Logo Histories’ Research Archive we have assets from Ikko Tanaka’s work with Japanese retailer SEIYU; Abram Games’ identity for engineering and manufacturing company GKN; and PAOS’ brand for Kirin.
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.
