Logo for a Japanese trade name
Knot symbol with Japanese and Latin logotypes
Shown on a noren shop curtain (composite)
To express the “musubi” (tying, binding) in the name as a single knot.
A single knot inside a red circle. The circle breaks slightly at the bottom, and a few small dots let it trail off. Curves that recall a mizuhiki cord knot, a Japanese logotype that keeps the warmth of handwriting, and a rounded Latin face are held together in one vermilion. It keeps its shape reversed out in white, so it works on fabric, wood or paper.
