The Dentsu Advertising Awards are Japan's oldest advertising awards, and were established to honor clients who achieve one of advertising's most fundamental missions—to shine a unique light on the company and its brand, and warm the hearts of people worldwide. In this context, we sought to create a logo and visual identity system that express the many ways this radiant light illuminates the world.
Light is a form of radiant energy that enables us to see the world around us. Working from this insight, our design seeks to express the many ways that advertising can reveal the values and principles that guide a company's actions, using a color palette that also evokes a sense of warmth and shared humanity.
The logo and visual identity system were introduced on the occasion of the 70th Anniversary Dentsu Advertising Awards ceremony held on 3 July 2017, and were featured on promotional posters and movies, award trophies and certificates, and envelopes and other stationery. Posters and other materials were displayed at the awards venue and award secretariat office, as well as at Dentsu Inc. branches and offices. The 70th Anniversary Dentsu Advertising Awards attracted 1422 entries from some 450 companies and organizations.
