11 12 13 Nomura’s Logo and Signature Graphic

Our signature graphic traces its roots back to our original company emblem. The center of the emblem consists of a pictogram of a mountain, a traditional Japanese symbol of the finance business, accompanied by a character taken from the name of our founder Tokushichi Nomura. The mountain pictogram was lifted from our emblem and modified to create the Nomura “M” that you see today in our corporate logo. Our signature graphic is an abstraction of the Nomura “M”. It blends our heritage with our future-focus, always pointing up or forward to signal progress and momentum. The signature graphic flows naturally from the logo while retaining a character all its own. We use the signature graphic shown at the right – with the Nomura “M” modified and extended with its strokes overlaid. © Nomura Holdings, Inc. 2014.
