Lii Inc. (Headquarters: Showa Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director: Ayumi Hirose, hereinafter referred to as "Lii") announces that it has redefined the "value of exercise" that it has continuously addressed through its business, and has renewed its Corporate Identity (CI) and Visual Identity (VI).
Background of Rebranding
Humans are animals, and like eating and sleeping, "exercise" is an important element for maintaining physical and mental health. However, through the evolution of civilization, modern humans have become able to "live without moving." Lii aims to repaint a world where the color black has spread with the development of civilization back to white, by considering people with exercise habits as "Othello's white" and those without as "black."
New Brand Core "Philosophy & Oath"
As the highest-level concepts for the new Lii, we have established "Philosophy" and "Oath," a pledge to society.
[Philosophy]
You Move, Move You.
If you move your body, everything will start moving.
"It's not that you move because you have motivation, but that you get motivated because you move. Instead of relying on willpower, first move your body. That first step moves your mind, environment, and ultimately your life – this is Lii's core philosophy."
[Oath]
We know. That even when we don't feel cheerful, or when things aren't going well, if we move our bodies, our breathing changes, our gaze changes, and our perspective changes.
We want you to know. That the vitality of your body, the beat of your heart, can push you forward.
We will act. To create a daily life where we move our bodies, and make everyone's lives more interesting.
We pledge. To move the world with the power of exercise.
New Visual Identity (VI)
Symbol Mark "Moving Beat"
It is motifed after a "circle" that has been purified to the ultimate degree of "movement." A sphere is the most unstable (never stopping) yet the most stable shape, distributing external pressure evenly. The design of two circles moving back and forth represents repetitive motion and heartbeat, the archetypes of exercise.
The Angle
The angle is 33.6 degrees. It signifies the explosive start of a crouching start, liftoff against gravity, and an attitude of constant growth, always upward.
Lii Color
We have adopted "Lii Orange," representing blood circulation and elevated body temperature from exercise. Imagining a "fluorescent marker" that adds color to everyday life, we have created a visual where overlapping colors become darker, like a marker.

Comment from Representative Director, CEO Ayumi Hirose
In the past, living itself was exercise, but through the development of civilization and the COVID-19 pandemic, modern life has become the default state of 'not exercising black,' where one can live without moving.
Many people think, "I go to the gym because I have motivation," but in reality, it's the opposite. You get motivated because you go to the gym. Before thinking with your mind or head, first move. That first step begins to move everything that has been stagnant.
Through our business, we will first repaint the Othello board, where black has become dominant, to 'white,' representing a daily life of exercise. Then, by increasing the total amount of exercise for people who encounter Lii and delivering high-quality exercise opportunities, we aim for a future where the entire world is colored in vibrant 'Lii Orange.' We are once again embarking on the challenge of moving the world with the power of exercise, starting from here.
