New Logo Mark Design for Gin no Bashamichi
To commemorate the 140th anniversary of the completion of Gin no Bashamichi (Old Silver Mine Carriage Road), the Silver Brawler Network Association requested that Issay Kitagawa —a leading Japanese designer and representative of GRAPH Co. Ltd., headquartered in Kasai, Hyogo—redesign the association’s logo mark to better suit future expansion beyond the region and overseas. Since its debut on October 1, 2016, this newly designed logo has been replacing the previous design.
