JYP Entertainment is a South Korean entertainment company founded by producer Park Jin-young, whose initials form the company name. The company’s corporate identity, or CI, is a typographic wordmark that pairs the “JYP” letters with the tagline “Leader In Entertainment,” a phrase the company describes as the value and goal it constantly pursues.[1]
Design and History
The current JYP Entertainment logo has been in use since January 2021.[2] The mark is a wordmark centered on the letters “JYP,” with the phrase “LEADER IN ENTERTAINMENT” positioned beneath it. The company provides the logo for download through its official website, where it is described as the company’s unique intellectual property protected under copyright and trademark law.[1]
JYP Entertainment’s usage guidelines state that only the most recent version of the logo may be used, and that any modifications, including changes to color or proportions, are strictly prohibited.[1]
Prior to the January 2021 update, the logo featured a slightly different layout. An earlier version displayed “JYP ENTERTAINMENT” in full, with a dividing line separating the company name from the “LEADER IN ENTERTAINMENT” tagline. The 2021 revision simplified the wordmark to just “JYP,” removed the divider, and aligned the tagline directly beneath the letters for improved visual stability.[3]
Meaning and Symbolism
The tagline “Leader In Entertainment” is not merely decorative. JYP Entertainment states that being a leader in entertainment is the value and goal the company constantly pursues, and that it strives to become the leading company of the global entertainment industry.[1] The company operates under the core values of being a “Leading Company” and a “Respected Company,” working to realize its vision as a “Leader in Entertainment.”[1]
Typography and Design
The JYP logo is a typographic wordmark built around the three letters of the company name. In practice, the logo has been observed appearing in a blue-background, white-text format in music video end cards.[3] The company’s official website does not publish a specific color specification or font name for the logo, and no designer or agency attribution has been officially documented.
