　JTB Corp. is implementing a coordinated transformation of its business and brand-building activities in its quest to evolve as a dynamic brand that embraces diversity and continually innovates new ways of bringing people, places and possibilities together.

■Rebranding Drivers
　As part of its efforts to realize its 'Vision for Pioneering in a New Era' formulated in FY20, the JTB Group has implemented a disciplined cost restructuring program to weather the impact of the pandemic and carefully re-examined its brand aspiration.　In April 2022, we formulated a new Brand Promise (core brand concept) and revised The JTB Way* to incorporate 'ONE JTB Values' determined via a global workforce survey.n insight survey revealed a gap between the market's perception of the JTB Group and our aspirations as an organization, making it evident that we need to do a better job of communicating our non-travel activity as well as the operational breadth and depth of our organization. The JTB Group defines itself as being in the business of 'bringing people, places and possibilities together'² based on a posture of 'Connecting and Contributing', the wellspring of value creation at JTB. Our diverse team of professionals is engaged in a wide range of businesses that extend far beyond travel and tourism, delivering inspiration, enjoyment and results to a broad spectrum of customers and business partners, and helping to create a more sustainable society. As our efforts to transform our business move into full swing, we are redesigning our corporate logo in order to cultivate a new image as a 'dynamic brand that embraces diversity and continually innovates new ways of bringing people, places and possibilities together'. This integrated transformation of our business and brand-building activities will be systematically reflected in our products, services, Web presence, and brick-and-mortar facilities in the months and years ahead.

^*The JTB Way expresses who we are as an organization and provides a foundation for our business the activities and the conduct of our people.

■New Corporate Logo

New monochromatic JTB lettering

A dozen Earth-inspired background colors convey diversity and possibilities

　The bold contours of the J-T-B lettering in our new logotype express the dynamism, energy and progressiveness of the JTB organization. They also convey JTB's desire to continue the journey of excitement and inspiration through genuine, engaged connections with our customers. Our rebranding, the JTB Group's first in 35 years, honors the legacy of the JTB logo and maintains its dynamic design while replacing the two-color design with a monochromatic logotype using 12 background colors from nature's color palette to convey diversity and possibilities. The goal of this new design is to promote visibility of the operational depth and breadth embodied by the JTB brand. Supported by this new design scheme, JTB will continue to cultivate a global brand image characterized by diversity and innovation.
