This logo will contribute to highlighting the cultural and historical elements of the UAE and its image as a modern country that preserves its Arab heritage and culture as well as its distinct identity.
“The ‘Emirates in Calligraphy’ depicts the name of the name of the UAE in beautiful Arabic calligraphy, with its authenticity, originality, and modernity at the same time. It reflects the heritage of the UAE through this font that is characterised by its connected letters that portray the unity and cohesion of the UAE. It also portrays the values of giving, tolerance, love and coexistence that characterise Emirati society, as well as the geographical elements that combine the desert and the sea; the two environments that reflect the heritage of our ancestors and symbols of the UAE’s tourism. The logo introduces our culture and heritage and what the name represents of the UAE’s experience, which has become a model that combines tradition, originality, modernity and development, while retaining its unique national identity that is based on the principles of Islam and authentic Arab culture, offering its inspiring positive experience for peoples and societies around the world to benefit from,” said Al Tayer.
DEWA’s employees also voted for the ‘Emirates in Calligraphy’ logo. They expressed their happiness to take part in selecting the UAE identity that will share the UAE’s story with the world and highlight its successful developmental journey as a country that has achieved in a short time what other countries have taken hundreds of years to reach.
