I am truly honored to have been given the opportunity to design the logo for this festival. Using the "Shachihoko," a symbol of Aichi Prefecture as the central motif, I aimed for a pop and character-like design that would also appeal to younger generations. While preserving the unique arched posture of the Shachihoko, the overall shape is arranged into a round silhouette, representing the Japanese flag. Also, by incorporating reel perforations and related patterns to symbolize the elements of film, I ensured that both the host location and the theme of the event are conveyed naturally through the design. I would be delighted to see this logo embraced by many people and help make the festival even more appealing. Thank you very much.

I am truly grateful to have been given the opportunity to take part in creating the logo, and I have approached the work with great care. This festival is an event that I have also been eagerly looking forward to, and in designing the symbol that represents it, I tried to express the sense of excitement and anticipation that animation inspires. To ensure the logo would feel approachable to all visitors, I designed it with a rounded and pop-like impression overall, while also hoping that through its logo, it would naturally draw attention to the uniqueness of Aichi, the host location. I hope that this logo will be cherished by many and continue to be loved alongside the festival for years to come. Thank you so much for this invaluable experience.
