The sign system includes the corporate banner, signs, for office identification, build-
ing advertisements, and neon signes, among others. All of these signs play essential
visual expression of the corporate’s presence in teh community and its commitment
to society.
Just as a national flag stands for a nation, the corporate banner stands for the corpo-
ration, serving as a focal point of employee pride. As a result, this banner is
paramount within the signage system. The Yokogawa corporate banner displays the
corporate symbol sparkling against a background of Yokogawa Blue.
