🐈 My Personal Logo is Born!

Today marks a special milestone—my personal logo has officially come to life!

The Story Behind the Design

The inspiration comes from Mayohachi, a little rescue kitten I discovered on the 8th floor of my office building in 2023. At just one year old, this charming boy captured my heart instantly. His name combines “mayo” (まよ), reflecting his soft yellowish fur reminiscent of Japanese mayonnaise, and “hachi” (八), meaning eight in Japanese—a tribute to the floor where our fateful encounter happened. Paired with WiFi signal waves that represent my research passion in wireless communications.

Design Journey

The creation process was a delightful three-step transformation:

Mayohachi → Hand-drawn Watercolor → Digital Edition

Beginning with candid photos of Mayohachi in his favorite belly-up pose, I captured his essence in watercolor before refining it into a clean digital logo. WiFi waves flow naturally around his silhouette, symbolizing the invisible connections that shape our world—much like how this little cat found his way into my heart.
