Reflection:
The Kyoto 2028 Olympics branding project was a chance to combine history and modern design. Inspired by Kiyomizu-dera Pagoda, the logo represents Kyoto’s tradition, innovation, and Olympic spirit while appealing to people worldwide.
This project helped me improve my branding and design skills, especially in balancing old and new styles. If I continued, I would explore merchandise and event graphics to strengthen my branding further.
