    Masaomi Fujita said:
    In response to the company’s consultation regarding CI renewal upon the office relocation, tegusu established CI and a guideline for use of it and designed signatures and business cards.
    The inspiration behind the basic concept was inspired by the company’s following three policies
    • Provide every employee with a feeling of happiness.
    • Grow with customers and affiliates to offer innovative services.
    • Always contribute to society.
    These reflect the president’s honest personality and company-wide sincere attitude, which led us to the key words including“confidence”, “conscientious”, “partnership”, “history and tradition” and “experience.” Based on these key words, two specific motifs were embedded into the identity of design.

    First is “seal and signature.”  As is called “Hanko (seal) society”, Japan has traditionally used a seal to express that a document, both business and public, or a bankbook is authorized.  Thus, a seal can be said as a symbol of “credit” and “trust”. This inspired us to design Shimada’s succession of almost 100-year history and determination to achieve the three policies with a forward-looking attitude in the motif of a seal.
    Second is “a structural object such as box or frame“. tegusu chose frames and white boxes subject to design, because these are associated with an idea that decorative laminate and furniture materials offer “new value” and “colors” to a space or décor, and that motif suggests that the company “quickens something incomplete”.
    The symbol we created consists of the combination of the above and arranged Chinese characters for “Shimada” (島田) .

    The logo forms an impression of a square seal, a typical shape of corporate seals, having all characters including alphabets fit inside the square. The guideline specifies the margins to be secured when the logo is used and all samples of color patterns to be used other than its basic color, to unify the corporate image.
