In anticipation of a reorganization by parent company Panasonic Corporation, all Sanyo logos of the appliance maker will be replaced by Panasonic logos.
Sanyo, after financial troubles, was purchased by Panasonic back in 2009.
The building for Sanyo's headquarters was completed in 1999, and the three-meters tall x nine meters high logo was installed that year on the outside of the 10th floor.
This past week, local residents watched as a crane slowly removed the logo one letter at a time.
"I will miss it, but both Sanyo and Panasonic are local Osaka companies. I hope the group will be united and do its best," exclaims a a local resident.
Panasonic, based in Kadoma-shi (Kadoma City), Osaka-ken, bought up all Sanyo and Panasonic Electric Works Co. shares in April 2011, and plans to start using the Panasonic brand for their entire product range.
I just did a check on Sanyo's Wikipedia site, it has nothing updated recently, but it does say that : By April 2012, parent company Panasonic plans to terminate the Sanyo brand, however it will remain on some of the products where the Sanyo brand still holds value to consumers.
According to the Panasonic site, the Sanyo brand will be phased out.
