We will combine our brand name “KYB,” which is well acknowledged and more commonly used, with our common name.

It has an impressive and unique design while maintaining a legible style as letters. Slanted slits in each letter represents comfortable sunlight cast through the trees and sunbeams illuminating the road ahead. The logo represents an image of unconstrained growth and flexible response to the trends of the era. The right side of the letter“B” represents liquid pressure indicating the origin of KYB. Using italic letters expresses a sense of speedy movement.
