The Japan Sign Design Award celebrated its 58th edition. The number of tourists from abroad has increased in reaction to the Corona disaster, and the flow of people has noticeably changed, and there is a sense of another strong entry in the submitted works.
We received 337 entries this year, and 150 were selected as winners. We are very pleased to be able to present such excellent sign designs. We would like to thank everyone who submitted entries, as well as all those who were involved and supported the competition.
The trend this year was that many of the entries were for signage designs for factories, distribution facilities, offices, and other corporate locations. Although functionally, the main focus was on signs that provide “guidance and direction,” the methods used were very dramatic and unique within the space, giving the strong impression that signs play a part in corporate branding.
Congratulations to all the award winners. Please download the results booklet (sorry, it is only available in Japanese).
