About the Logo
The motif is "product", which is a paraphrase for Osaka-mon (made in Osaka). The term "Osaka-mon" is represented by three circles in different colors: "萌葱色" (dark yellowish green) symbolizes agricultural and forestry products, "孔雀青" (peacock blue) represents seafood, and "金茶色" (golden brown) represents the warmth and passion of the people who support Osaka-mon. These circles depict various entities coming together in a network of activities and collaborations, forming a connected "ring" to expand and strengthen the impact of Osaka-mon.
