Hotel's 25th Anniversary Commemorative Logo
01
An anniversary logo has been created to commemorate the special year marking the 25th anniversary of the hotel's opening.
With gratitude for the many connections we have made with our customers,
We created a pop and happy design for our 25th anniversary logo.
The large "25" in the center of the logo is a play on words, referring to "smile".
This represents the smiles of our customers over the past 25 years.
The circular frame symbolizes a connection that continues into the future.
The ribbon motif embodies both gratitude and the excitement of the start of a new journey.

“Colorful Pop Journey”
[Period] April 7, 2026 (Tue) - March 31, 2027 (Wed)
Using "Journey" as the keyword, we expressed the hotel's 25-year journey as a "colorful and pop-style journey." We envisioned each guest's memories as a "travel story" and visualized them as a track leading into the future.
Travel motifs such as trains, suitcases, and hot air balloons symbolize the connection between the past, present, and future. The aim was to create a space where guests could connect their own memories with stories to come. The colors are coordinated with the 25th-anniversary logo, using seven different colors. Each color embodies feelings such as "smiles," "hope," "adventure," and "gratitude," expressing a sense of celebration and a forward-looking perspective. In this decoration, the gold of the commemorative logo is placed throughout the space as a "testament to our journey," fusing classic elements with pop colors. The design is not merely a retrospective, but an anniversary that serves as a "starting point for the next 25 years."
