ブランドシンボルは、辞書において見出し語を示す際の、隅付き括弧をモチーフにしたデザイン。 中心にある正円形のスペースは「ことばを創造する空間」を表現しており、さまざまな文献や参考資料をもとに、ことばの語釈や用例を形として示し、柔軟な発想で時代に合った辞書を作り続けることへの誓いを表しています。
The brand symbol was inspired by the black lenticular bracket used to display 'headwords' in dictionary pages.
The circular space at the centre of the symbol represents a 'space for creating words'.
kotoba Inc. continues to define word annotations and examples of usage based on a variety of literature and reference materials. The design represents the company's philosophy of 'continuing to create dictionaries that match the times'.
