TricoLogic Inc., an AI startup originating from the University of Tokyo (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Akimasa Nishio; hereinafter referred to as 'the Company'), which operates under the mission of 'Empowering everyone with critical thinking skills, and every company with educational ventures,' announces the refresh of its corporate logo. This change accompanies the establishment of a regional ecosystem through education and the full-scale development of regional co-creation.
■ Background of the Logo Renewal
From Education to Driving 'Regions'
As a startup born from Professor Yanagawa's seminar at the University of Tokyo and Professor Matsuo's laboratory, which leads AI research in Japan, the Company has operated 'Mirai-shiki,' a cram school that fosters the 'critical thinking skills' necessary in the AI era.
Recently, the Company has been promoting a 'regional co-creation model' by welcoming local businesses from diverse industries such as manufacturing and real estate as franchise owners to jointly create regional hubs. Now that this model, which simultaneously achieves DX transformation for local companies, improves recruitment capabilities, and utilizes idle assets, has begun to be demonstrated nationwide, we are entering a second founding period to update regional societies with diverse stakeholders, starting from education.
To symbolize our strong commitment to regional co-creation, we are renewing our Corporate Identity (CI).
■ Story of 'Regional Regeneration' Symbolized by the New Logo
The new logo is based on the Eastern philosophy (Mencius) of 'Sansai' (Heaven, Earth, and Man) that the Company has upheld: 'Timing of Heaven (flow of the times),' 'Advantage of Earth (local community),' and 'Harmony of Man (trust and community).'
1. Connecting 'Heaven, Earth, and Man' with Logic (Strategy)
We will connect the potential of regions (Heaven, Earth, and Man), which has often been left to 'luck' or 'chance,' with our Company's strength of solid 'Logic' (strategy). The overlapping triangle of three 'L's represents our determination to strengthen the foundation of regional society and lead it to inevitable success.
2. 'Play Button (▶︎)' Moving Forward with Diverse Stakeholders
The right-facing triangle (▶︎) in the logo mark represents a 'play button.' It expresses our stance of powerfully moving forward regional society, business, and children's learning. TricoLogic aims to be a company that does not complete things alone but grows together by involving diverse stakeholders such as employees, partner companies, and local communities. This symbol embodies our strong will to involve those around us, starting from education, and 'play' (regenerate) the entire region.
3. Three Primary Colors as Universal 'Regional Colors'
The colors based on the three primary colors of cyan, magenta, and yellow symbolize universality that is not influenced by trends and continues to be rooted in local communities, as well as 'co-creation' that creates new value by mixing diverse individualities.
■ Comment from Representative Director Akimasa Nishio
'What we aim for is not merely the multi-store expansion of cram schools. It is the creation of a 'regional ecosystem' where local companies become owners and invest in the future through education as their own business, thereby generating new pride and vitality in the region. The 'play button (▶︎)' embedded in this new logo is also a declaration of our resolve to believe in the potential of regional society and to continue pressing its activation switch. We will return the knowledge cultivated in Professor Yanagawa's seminar and Professor Matsuo's laboratory to the field and to the regions, redefining the 'advantage of Earth' throughout Japan.'
