The ancient art of origami paper folding is a precise and delicate art form. The word "origami" literally means "paper folding." In the art of origami the artist would create a single animal or shape from a sheet of paper using precise folds and creases.

In logo design it has become a trend to use not only a replica of origami pieces but also the suggestion of origami in letterforms and abstract images.
