About the logo
The art director Masahiro Kakinokihara, who directed the design of the logo for Tokorozawa Sakura Town, also directed the design of this logo for KCM. The triangle symbolizes books, art, and natural history, and also represents an arrow pointing to the next generation. A polyhedron appears if the lines are extended from the three corners of the triangle to the corners of the outer polygon, expressing that KCM is committed to evolving with the times, the perspectives and perceptions of which are becoming multifaceted.
