2009年4月に豊田市美術館にて開催された、現代美術作家ヤノベケンジによる個展、「ウルトラ」のサインデザイン。
新作の<ウルトラ―黒い太陽>は展示室内に水没した鋼鉄製の大きな放電する彫刻である。その新作をモチーフとし、サインを鉄錆シートで作成。外部に貼ることで展覧会期間中に壁面へ錆垂れが出来上がり、変化していく様子をデザインに取り入れた。また、文字は溶断したような仕上がりをイメージし、レーザーカットで切文字の小口を焦がした。

This project was for the solo exhibition of a contemporary artist, Kenji Yanobe "Kenji Yanobe-ULTRA" (Toyota Municipal Museum of Art, Aichi/Japan, 2009). It employed special details such as holographic foils and matt black ink on coated paper to illustrate the serenity and the explosive energy of his work.
And sign design was inspired from Kenji Yanobe's new artwork "Ultra-Kuroi Taiyo (Black Sun)" that is a big iron sculpture of high-voltage discharging submerged in exhibition room. Sign was made of iron-mold sheet. And it was imported phenomenon that outside one was rusting and its rust was growing down on white wall during exhibition term. Character was burned out with laser, it seemed fusing edge.
