Logo Mark Concept
The logo mark of the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences was designed with consideration for the location of the campus and expresses the image of a great oak tree of knowledge in Kashiwa using the same blue and gold colors as the University of Tokyo logo. The gold leaves represent autumn foliage, while the blue leaves spreading from within symbolize new growth. The expanding branches of the tree embody both the Graduate School’s aspiration toward the development of new academic fields and the network formed through connections among diverse disciplines. Since ancient times, oak trees in Japan have been regarded as auspicious because they do not shed their old leaves until new buds appear, as symbolized in traditional items such as kashiwa-mochi. The logo also conveys the hope that the lineage of knowledge represented by this oak tree will continue to be passed down without interruption for generations to come.

GSFS Mark Concept
Each letter contains gaps and is intentionally left incomplete. Shapes that originally had no meaning become complete letters through connection and by filling those gaps. This design reflects the spirit of creating new frontiers and emerging fields through collaboration and integration.(Created by Mr. Kazuaki Suzuki, Representative Director of Grow Up Co., Ltd. )
