Kyodo Electric Co., Ltd. was founded in 1950 and initially sold electrical conduit and accessories.
After that, he took on the challenge of manufacturing himself, and has now grown into the Bus duct manufacturer with the longest history in Japan. His technology has since been applied to projects such as raised access floors and greenery projects... pic.twitter.com/UwC3NPoeuI -

KYODO KY-TEC is celebrating its 75th anniversary and has published a company history that summarizes its progress at each milestone.
The last time was 25 years ago, in 2000, when the "50th Anniversary History" was published.
When I reread it, I found that it not only covered the company's history, but also included many photos of events such as the office and factory at the time, company trips, and sports days (!). pic.twitter.com/Z3XUxTKmI9 -

Background of the project (75th anniversary original logo mark)
This year marks the 75th anniversary of KYODO KY-TEC's founding in November 1950.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for this, which is solely due to your warm support and patronage.
With our mission of "Comfortable technology for people and society," we will continue to contribute to the realization of a comfortable and sustainable society through urban and building development, leveraging our three strengths: business capabilities, product capabilities, and support capabilities.
Through this milestone of our 75th anniversary, we will reexamine our company's history and philosophy, and connect our corporate culture to our 80th and even 100th anniversaries. With the aim of getting all employees excited about the anniversary, we have decided to select an original anniversary logo mark through an internal public contest.
Summary
Details: We are accepting submissions for the "Anniversary Logo Mark" from all KYODO KY-TEC employees (including part-time and casual employees).
Employees are asked to use their own ideas to create and submit a logo that embodies KYODO KY-TEC's mission and corporate philosophy (KY-TEC MISSION・WAY), leaves a strong impression of the 75th anniversary, and conveys the essence of our company.
The submitted works will be judged internally, and the logo selected as the grand prize winner will be displayed on our website and official social media accounts throughout the 75th anniversary period, helping to promote KYODO KY-TEC's 75th anniversary.
Winning works
From over 150 entries submitted internally, we selected the Grand Prize winner to be used as the 75th anniversary logo, as well as other awards and special awards from the CEO (Ken) and public relations.
Grand Prize (1 person)
"The three divisions are represented by the colors red, blue, and green, and are evenly distributed on the inner circle, with yellow representing hope for the yet-to-be-realized fourth division. The outer circle is designed with green as the main theme. The overall design has a subdued Scandinavian moss-like finish."President's Comment
"The KY-TEC logo is surrounded by the words 75th anniversary. It's a very simple, easy-to-understand, and rather cool and stylish design. It's also very easy to use as a mark for websites and social media, so it was chosen as the grand prize logo!"
Winners (5 people)
"The Bus duct and the environment each represent a number at the base of the raised access floor, expressing the strong ties between our three business divisions that have enabled us to celebrate our 75th anniversary and remain unchanged into the future."President's Comment
"It has our company name and logo, the anniversary number '75', the '7' for Bus duct, the '5' for greening, and there's a raised access floor underneath, which represents our three businesses, so it's very easy to understand."
"As an environmental equipment manufacturer, we created this logo with the hope that we will grow firmly rooted in the ground, while also spreading our leaves into the sky (for the future)."President's Comment
"Despite its simple design, it clearly expresses the image of buildings and cities, which are closely related to our company, as well as greenery."
"The tip of the number 7 represents the three arrows of KY-TEC, and the rounded end of the number 5 is an element of the Kyodo Electric Times logo. The number 7 is intentionally large, representing our hope that the number will grow even bigger in the future. The color is the gradation of the KY-TEC logo, representing the years we have spent together."President's Comment
"It's a very interesting design that incorporates both our current logo and the logo we used when we were called Kyodo Denki before we changed our name."
"We've breathed life into the KY-TEC logo. It features three characters: Kai-kun, Kyo-chan, and Tech-kun. It represents a company where people with different personalities work together, and diversity. It expresses our desire to continue to be that kind of company!"President's Comment
"Our company logo has been transformed into a cute character. It's comical and has a celebratory feel that is fitting for our 75th anniversary, so it's fun."
"I designed a logo that combines the motifs of the three divisions that make up KYODO KY-TEC and incorporates the '75' of our 75th anniversary! I wanted it to be something that people would look back on in the future and remember that these three divisions were our mainstays at the time."President's Comment
"It's a simple monochrome design, but the number 7 represents the Bus duct, the number 5 represents the raised access floor, and there are plants on top to represent greenery, making it easy to understand and interesting."
Ken-san Special Award (1 person)
"We used Scandiamoss to represent the number 75. It is also displayed prominently at the company entrance, and we thought that by using green, we could create an image of the environment and ECO."President's Comment
"There are various requirements for using it as a logo, so it's difficult to use it as is, but the three-dimensional design using Scandiamoss is very interesting and realistic. Scandiamoss has been used in a variety of designs, but this work made me realize that it can also be used in this way."
Special Public Relations Award (1 person)
"The president's face is the face of the company. I thought it would be an interesting way to grab attention."Comment from the Public Relations Manager
"It's a design that has a strong impact and is memorable once you see it. The explanation says that 'the president's face is the face of the company,' and I like the innovative idea of using the president's face as it is. Although it didn't win the Grand Prize, if it were used as a logo it would be a very catchy design, so it was awarded the Special Public Relations Award."
