Hermes Corporation
President and Representative Director
The above mission statement was written more than 30 years ago when Hermes was first founded.
The logo and type face also remain the same as when the company was founded, although they have been brushed up.
To create timeless and universal designs, and to treat them with love and care for many years to come.
This is the characteristic of Hermes, and perhaps the expression of our philosophy.
Below is a message of thanks to commemorate the 30th anniversary of our founding in 2021.
Thank you for our 30th anniversary
Hermes Corporation celebrates its 30th anniversary. We have been able to continue our company’s business until today,
the patronage and guidance of our clients, the cooperation of our partners, and the faithful contributions of all of our employees over the years,
the cooperation of our partners, and the faithful contributions of all of our employees over the years. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you.
Hermes Ltd. was founded in 1991.
We started out with two employees in the good old days of analog, when there was no Photoshop or Illustrator.
The world was going through a severe period of deflation after the bursting of the bubble economy.
However, a number of fortunate encounters gave us a chance.
I still remember the joy we felt when our designs were released to society.
Our concept has remained unchanged since then.
That is, we aim to create designs that will exist for a long time to come.
Even if we create an excellent design that reflects the times, it is often no longer used.
It is a bit sad to see a design that you have put all your energy into become a thing of the past.
We were drawn to best-selling and long-selling product development designs.
We wanted to create universal designs that would match the current era, but that would also be loved for a long time to come.
This desire and quest has led us to create so many “package designs” today.
We have been asked to do a lot of “package design” for our clients today.
Another concept is the long-term business relationship with our clients.
We understand the vision and thoughts of the management and design the corporate message clearly and beautifully.
We pursue designs that enhance product value, promote uniqueness, and expand the circle of empathy.
Continuing these efforts to create a unified corporate image.
Even before the term “branding” was coined, we were committed to enhancing our clients’ brand value,
We have been striving to enhance our clients’ brand value.
In 2021, Hermes Corporation will celebrate its 30th anniversary.
Today, every sense of value is undergoing a major change.
We are excited about the many gratifying encounters and opportunities that lie ahead.
We are determined to do our best to serve you with the power of creativity and design.
We wish you continued prosperity and good health.
We look forward to your continued guidance and encouragement for many years to come.
Hermes Corporation
President and Representative Director
Thank you for taking the time to read this long message.
We hope that you can understand our business stance and corporate culture.
We hope that we will be blessed with the opportunity to work with you.
