The Seoul Zoo ranks among the ten largest zoos in the world and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2009. According to its vision of being both an ecological zoo and a first-class theme park for the 21st century, the park’s visual identity was optimised and an entire communication system created. In order to portray the zoo as a place where nature and humans grow together, the slogan “The Growing Planet” was developed. The zoo’s logo shows the stylised face of a tiger, a familiar animal from ancient Korean fairy tales and traditional folk paintings.
