Japanese Municipality Logos

In Japan, city municipalities are identified by some of the most forward-thinking, abstract logos I have seen in a long time. In contrast, American cities are overwhelmingly identified by pale interpretations of trees, the town square, fountain, or other more literal representations, like a city landmark. In Japan, it’s almost like each city has tried to outdo the other with the better abstract symbol — colorful and distinctive marks to identify their place.
