The simple, elegant design reflects Ricoh’s three core values: Simplify knowledge creation, Solutions that fit and Harmony with the environment as well as its recognizability on a global scale is greatly enhanced.

Since 1986, Ricoh has used the current logo and grown into a global leader in the office solution business.  In the 15th Midterm Plan beginning fiscal year 2005, Ricoh aims to further establish itself around the world.  As Ricoh approaches its 70th anniversary in February 2006, the timing is perfect for an affirmation of Ricoh as a global brand.

The current logo will be switched to the new one starting as of September 2005.
