You look at that and it does nothing for you at all.
The only recognizable thing is the tired cliche of the Japanese red sun from the flag. I suppose the powers that be told the designer that had to be in the design, but he should have refused.
If the mark on the top of the black bar makes it a "T", the mark on the bottom makes it an "L". Which means what?...
