Logo
A contest was held to solicit logo designs from NCGM and NIID employees, who work together to lead the future of JIHS, as well as undergraduate and graduate students of Japan’s National College of Nursing. The winner was selected by a committee consisting of staff from each organization as well as outside experts. 186 outstanding design ideas were submitted, expressing their creators’ enthusiasm for JIHS. The committee held a spirited debate before deciding on a logo.
We hope that this new logo will symbolize "a future world free from fear of infectious diseases”.
