(hereinafter referred to as "pixiv," Office: Shibuya, Tokyo, Representative Director: Yasuhiro Niwa) is excited to announce a logo redesign for its illustration, manga, and novel posting platform pixiv. The new logo, inspired by the theme "Your creative journey awaits" will launch on Tuesday, January 28th, 2025.

Reasons behind the logo redesign
Since its launch in 2007, pixiv has grown to over 100 million registered users across more than 230 countries and regions. Over the years, user behavior and the online environment have evolved, with more users accessing pixiv via smartphones and an increasing global audience.
The redesign reflects pixiv's commitment to supporting creators worldwide and fostering an environment where creativity thrives. With this vision in mind, pixiv has redesigned its logo for the first time in 16 years.
About the new logo
The new logo reflects the intentions behind the theme, "Your creative journey awaits"
The design incorporates geometric "0" and "1" elements to represent pixiv as a service rooted in the digital space. Subtle imperfections, such as the shortened length of the "p" and the lettering's rounded edges, symbolize the incredible abundance inherent in human creativity which makes possible the unexpected joy of discovering new ideas.
Since its launch, pixiv has been a gathering place for creators who discover new hobbies, passions, and opportunities for connection and collaboration. The new logo embodies pixiv's dedication to fostering these creative possibilities and accelerating them toward a brighter future.
Launch date
The new logo will be rolled out starting Tuesday, January 28th, 2025.
