Z.com is a domain containing only one alphabet. Only six such domains exist in the world.

We adopt Z.com, which is one of the shortest domain names that are easy to remember, as a global brand since we believe that it is perfect to tell simply and clearly our group philosophy and management policy to the overseas customers.

Z.com logo employs a red colour that indicates passion and victory, gets a lot of visibility, and provides a sense of familiarity.

Our intention is to tell directly the value that Z.com will offer to all customers in countries throughout the world, with a sharp and distinctive straight line of an alphabet Z and .com, a domain that symbolizes Internet.

We want to level up our brand and people worldwide to find it familiar through creating a simple logo.
