History of Establishment
As for the symbol mark of Asahi Ward, we selected excellent works from publicly offered works and held a referendum. As a result of examining the results by the selection committee, the above symbol mark was determined.
We introduce process from public information Yokohama Asahi-ku version (February, 1983 issue) at the time of establishment.
The symbol of the ward is determined
Selecting the highest vote work by the selection committee with reference to the inhabitant of a ward vote
The ward's emblem establishment project started in June of last year, and the work was decided by the final selection committee on December 16 last year. . As reported, when the design was publicly recruited from August to September, 406 works were sent to the ward, and 8 of them were submitted to the ward. As a result, Koichi Nishimura (45), who collected 534 votes out of 2,847 votes, ranked first, and the selection committee (consisting of representatives of various residents' organizations, ward staff, etc.) also obtained the highest vote, The design was also appropriate for the image of the ward. "
"Asahi (Asahi) is placed in the upper center of the center, and the sprouts that grow quickly in response to the light are stylized in YOKOHAMA's "Y" character. As a general rule, colors are based on "green", and white backgrounds and violet parts are inverted.
Nishimura, a designer, is a company employee working at Matsushita Tsushin Kogyo in Midori Ward, where he designs telecommunications products such as telephones, wireless and broadcasting equipment and audio products. He said he was studying design-related when he was a student, so he can be said to be a professional in design. I just moved to Asahi Ward in August last year from Komae, Tokyo to Wakabadai 2-chome. When making the symbol mark, he said, "I only rely on the name Asahi and the impression that there is a lot of greenery," but that seems to have been fortunate to create the image of Asahi Ward.
In the future, the ward will seize various opportunities and promote this symbol mark. First of all, on February 20, a presentation will be held on the seat of the famous song appreciation party (admission tickets have been distributed). We will continue to introduce the symbol mark at events such as the Asahi Ward Sports Festival and the Asahi Ward Cultural Festival. Please use this mark in case of any occasion.
