CONCEPTS
CREO means creative in Latin. Our office’s registered trademark consists of an N-engraved large blue circle and a small blue circle.
The large blue circle symbolizes the earth, and the engraved N represents the initial letter of the president, Mr. Nishiwaki. The small blue circle symbolizes an idea emanating from the N tunnel of the large blue circle.
The blue color, the small circle and the large circle, respectively represent our three concepts: to be intellectual; to be creative; and to be global.
