About 125th Logo Mark

About 125th Logo Mark: designed by Neville Brody

The commemorative logo mark was designed by Neville Brody. "Geometric approach reflects pure design aspect of Yamaha's products. Modular building blocks represent all different facets of Yamaha through the ages. The design also gives a feeling and suggestions of piano keys, lines on a musical score, rhythm and harmony."
