新型一般車「8A系」の外装カラーリングを担当。8A系単体ではなく「一般車の新しいカラーリング」を念頭に、深みと落ち着きのある上品な印象の「赤」とそれを際立たせるより明るい「白」の塗分けで、従来のイメージや近鉄らしさを残しつつ、日常に溶け込む品位あるデザインを目指した。
Kintetsu has introduced a new exterior color scheme for its standard commuter trains with the launch of the “8A Series,” the first new model in 24 years. Rather than designing exclusively for the 8A Series, the concept was developed as a new color identity for Kintetsu commuter trains as a whole. The two-tone combination of a deep, refined red with a brighter white highlights both elegance and composure, while preserving the familiar image and “Kintetsu character.” The result is a dignified design that blends naturally into everyday life.
