Brand Symbol
The current brand symbol was created in 2003 to help foster an image for the Nikon brand that matched the needs of the time. The graphic's sequential rays represent future possibilities while the yellow symbolizes expansion and passion, and the black portrays reliability and quality. Found in the corporate logos of Group companies, on product packaging and websites, and in advertisements, the brand symbol is being used as a communication tool to foster widespread understanding and promotion of the Nikon brand.
