The Development and Implications of KUMON's "THINKING FACE"

The "THINKING FACE" as contained in the KUMON Logo was developed to represent not only the children, who, thinking deeply as they study, gain the necessary life skills and academic ability at our centers, but also the instructors that guide the children in their study in the centers. Just like the children, these instructors are also continually learning and developing with each day. The "THINKING FACE" represents the face of everyone involved in Kumon.
KUMON

The most pertinent question in Kumon is, "How can I help each child progress?" Everyone involved in Kumon takes education very seriously, seeks to learn from the children and has the desire to grow alongside others. In addition, they put their learning into practice as they take action to achieve their goals. The "THINKING FACE" represents the child thinking as he or she studies. It also represents the adults who think how they can implement improvements that will benefit each child. This includes the instructors, the staff members, and of course, the parents! The development of each individual child is always the goal of Kumon and those involved with Kumon in any way. Learning from the children and with the children, is what makes Kumon so effective.

The blue color appearing in the logo represents honesty, intelligence, and integrity, as well as the color of the sky. The sky of course, is universal to everyone in the world, and therefore represents the universality of the Kumon Method. In addition, the "sky blue" used also represents Kumon's hope that the world will achieve unity, that the future of all children will grow on a grand scale and that all people all over the world will think deeply about education.
