The user community for Personal Editor®, 'Pen Club', has surpassed 150 members

The 'Pen Club', a user community for 'Personal Editor®' launched in April 2025, surpassed 150 members in August 2025. We have created a new logo for the 'Pen Club' and aim to make it a community that even more people can enjoy.

What is the 'Pen Club'?

'Pen Club' is a community open to users of 'Personal Editor®', which supports individuals in sharing information.

We offer a variety of content to deepen interaction and learning, including a members-only Slack where you can send self-introductions and feedback on notes, as well as online events and meetups hosted by personal editors.

The 'Pen Club' logo is complete!

As the community's activities have gradually blossomed, we wanted to have a symbol, so we created a logo for the 'Pen Club'.

The design is finished with a modern sophistication while maintaining a retro feel that is beloved by a wide range of generations. The design was handled by Miho Onodera, who handles the creative work for Good Buff, the company that operates 'Personal Editor®'.

The possibilities for 'Pen Club' merchandise such as stickers and badges are expanding, and we plan to use it in many ways as a symbol of our activities.

Main events of the 'Pen Club'

At the 'Pen Club', we hold events hosted by unique editors so that the time our participants spend 'writing' becomes even more enjoyable.
