Creek & River Co., Ltd. (C&R) will host a free online seminar titled 'Introduction to Game Branding – Creating Consistent, Effective Design from Concept to Launch' on Wednesday, June 24, aimed at game creators, focusing on the concept of branding in game development. ※ The seminar will be conducted in English, but simultaneous interpretation into Japanese will be available. (Participants can choose between the original English or interpreted Japanese audio channel.) Branding is often associated with logos, key visuals, and store pages.
