Kinza is a Japanese original web browser, which has been developed using the Chromium source code as with Google Chrome. Many Internet users keep using the web browser pre-installed on their PCs, but experienced users abandon it for more extensive browsers, such as Google Chrome and Firefox. However, web browsers can be developed more flexibly depending on how they are used. That is why Kinza evolves with users' voices. For example, Mouse Gesture and Super Drag have been developed to reflect users' voices. We believe that our mission is to give shape to the best for users and present the appeal of web browsers by Kinza.
Initial design sketches of the Kinza logo
In this world, there are many web browser logos, which everyone knows. The Kinza logo has been designed to be no less impressive than such logos, with the significantly visible, appealing icon and 16x16-pixel favicon, which are shown on the desktop and the tab of the browser, respectively. The Kinza logo is based on the motifs of "gold" coming from "Kinza (gold mint)" and "kylin (giraffe)," the symbol of the Nihonbashi bridge, with a Japanese taste. The color of metallic gold represents an image of "Chrome" as well as "Kinza." The logo presents the contrast between the dark color suggestive of the "Statue of Kylin" sitting on the Nihonbashi bridge and the vivid gold of "Kinza."
