35th Anniversary Hello Kitty Design History
It’s pretty hard to believe that Hello Kitty has been around for 35 years now. Designed by Ikuko Shimizu for the Japanese company Sanrio, Hello Kitty has gone on to become a global cultural icon for all things cute. She was even made the official ambassador of Japanese tourism to China and Hong Kong in 2008.
Over the course of her 35 years she’s obviously had a few design changes and this youtube video shows all her many incarnations. And in keeping with the cute nature of Hello Kitty herself, the video has a charmingly simple animation style accompanied by a catchy jpop style background music.
