Nippon Engineering Consultants celebrated its 50th anniversary on January 23, 2013. We would like to thank all of our business partners and employees who have created our history and supported us so far. To mark this occasion, we held the “50th Anniversary Commemorative Event” for one year up to the 50th anniversary of our foundation, to reflect on our history of 50 years and also think about our future.

We compiled our half-century of activities into a 50-year history. The concept is “An easy-to-understand 50-year history that is useful to employees,” and “A 50-year history to show to your family.” We organized the history of Nippon Engineering Consultants, which started from 10 design members in 1963 and became a company involved in various fields of civil engineering from the two perspectives of branch offices and business divisions. Also, we look to the future of Nippon Engineering Consultants with a section entitled “Toward the future.”

We handed out business cards with the 50th anniversary logo to all attendees of the “50th Anniversary Commemorative Event.” The anniversary logo was selected by employees from the following designs for use on business cards only in addition to the “basic logo” used for the website and pamphlets. The designs are representations of our employees’ gratitude, and we would be pleased if they convey our feelings.

1. Image of “continuation” / “road” This design conveys the image of a “road” with the meaning of the long 50-year history and the continuation into the future. We use this design as a basic logo for handouts such as the website and pamphlets. |

2. Image of “symbol” / “bridge” This image was designed as the face of Nippon Engineering Consultants by modeling “Shin-Toyo Bridge” which was awarded the Japan Society of Civil Engineers Tanaka Award, Design Award, and a Good Design Award in the field of “Bridges” which is our company’s field of specialty. |

3. Image of “connection” / “line of fate” This design represents the intertwining line of thread that links people, expressing hope, passion and the sun. The design has the meaning “Let’s join hands and connect hope from the past to the future.” |
