Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation http://www.nssmc.com/en/ NSSMC’s Logotype Sustainability Report 2015 (April 2014–March 2015) The central triangle in the logo represents a blast furnace and the people who create steel. It symbolizes steel, indispensable to the advance- ment of civilization, brightening all corners of the world. The center point can be viewed as a summit, reflecting our strong will to become the world’s leading steelmaker. It can also be viewed as depth, with the vanishing point rep- resenting the unlimited future potential of steel as a material. The cobalt blue and sky blue color palette represents innovation and reliability.
