About Uniqlo
Casual-wear retailer
Uniqlo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese casual-wear designer and retailer and a wholly owned subsidiary of Fast Retailing.
The Uniqlo brand began in June 1984, when Ogori Shoji, the company later renamed Fast Retailing, opened the first Uniqlo store in Hiroshima.
Its business model combines product planning, material procurement, production, distribution and retailing, and it markets its clothing under the LifeWear concept.
Uniqlo began expanding outside Japan with stores in the United Kingdom in 2001, and its New York SoHo store opened in November 2006 as the brand’s first global flagship.

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
Sato has said he chose katakana because it conveyed the inorganic quality of contemporary Japanese pop culture, and that he wanted an “exquisite incongruity” that would make both Japanese and foreign shoppers look twice.
Nippon.com reports that the global branding campaign Sato began in New York moved on to London, Paris and Shanghai.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteThe 2006 logo is based on an original bilingual font designed by Kashiwa Sato.
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
