Corporate Identity Corporate Identity
About Our Name
“AKA = AS KNOWN AS” carries the meaning of “known as,” while “MEDIA” means a medium of
communication.
AKAMEDIA embodies the idea of an accumulation of creativity known as a
messenger.
About Our Logo
Around the world, the ladybird has long been regarded as a symbol of good fortune that connects people and grants wishes. Written “天道虫” in Japanese, its habit of flying toward the sun is said to point to the heavenly path (tendō) leading to the sun god.
As a messenger of the future, AKAMEDIA has adopted the ladybird — a symbol of good fortune — as the motif of its corporate identity, with the wish to bring “happiness that connects to everything.”
The seven spots represent the “Seven Elements” — seven perspectives — which, by intermingling, express
the “new value / answer = Valuable Answer” that AKAMEDIA creates, and also serve as a guide for all of
the company’s business activities.
The main color red is inspired by the sun on the flag of Japan,
our home base.
