1. Don’t think that the Japanese logos always mean something deep and meaningful however. The company uses a direct automatic translation tool which means that they don’t aim for the text to be accurate. Consider it more as decoration than anything else.
2. Have you noticed that you’ve never seen a Superdry advert on TV? The company prefers to have their clothes seen on the right people and uses influencers as opposed to direct marketing.
