Research: Toho Bank, Apple Land & Takanishi

Logo Histories' Research Archive Issue 28

In Issue 28 of Logo Histories’ Research Archive I have pulled together assets from Japan’s The Toho Bank from 1991, a shopping mall called Apple Land and dairy business Takanishi.

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.
