Today I just wanted to do a little reference about japan and my logo because I have been getting some questions lately, so here is a little explanation. I think my logo came out a bit more subtle that I expected.
My little garden in japan banner is of course a ladybug. But is also a symbol for one of Japan's landmarks.
The logo is composed of the very characteristic red sun of japan (japanese draw sun red, not orange or yellow) and a Torii door [鳥居・鳥栖・鶏栖]. A torii door is a traditional Japanese gate commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine, where it symbolically marks the transition from the sacred to the profane. Also several freestanding doors are located trough japan and are considered landmarks in most of those places.
Thanks to those who figure it out!

This is what I was going for
Thanks to those who figure it out!
Also by popular request more photos i have taken of Mexico
Mexico's equivalent to mount Fuji. Ours is called Popocatepetl
Those pictures are stunning! I also really like the logo, though I have to admit I did not realize at first just how clever it is.
ReplyDeleteYour idea of your logo,which came from a Torii-gate is so superb and beautiful that the idea can make me happy as a Japanese to realize you've taken one of symbolic things which can introduce Japan.
ReplyDeleteI notice your logo every time I come to your blog, now I have an explanation of it.
ReplyDeleteThank you guys!
ReplyDeleteI hope people can figure out the logo, and that is memorable.
Also is so good to know that Japanese like it too, i was afraid it could be taken as offensive or something like that.
I don't think your logo is offensive to me.
ReplyDeleteIf you stayed in Japan for long time, I believe you could realize how generous most of Japanese are to any kind of religions and nationalities in the world.
Great to know. I didn't want to do a cultural faux pas.
ReplyDeleteYes, one of the many things i like about japan, is how they are understanding of others.
I've always liked your logo, I assumed it was a Kanji I'd forgotten, nice to be able to recognize it, it's very かわいい
ReplyDeleteI would have never figured out the logo, I thought it was just a nice ladybug. Now that I know the story, you did a really great job designing it!
