YNU University Identity

YNU Adopts Official Logo, Symbol Color, Slogan 2010 to Catapult YNU to Global Brand.

YNU turned 60 last year. In celebration of the anniversary, an official logo, symbol color and slogan were adopted as part of the “YNU University Identity System” with the aim of making YNU’s identity more visible, i.e., its beliefs, values and mission. With a renewed awareness that its birth in cosmopolitan Yokohama and its history and tradition of teaching and research make our school the “international hub of practical learning”, YNU is poised to play a progressive role in the increasingly globalizing world of the 21st century.
