The Identity below was the re-branding AbuDhabi Culture and Heritage.
The concept is “togetherness” and the design was an inspiration of the Emirati Ayalla dance. Young men stand next to each other and move with
a stick. It is also to portray that culture is about people, past, present and future.
The mark later was developed into a visual language using various media like charcoal, watercolor, and ink to emphasize that culture is about the art and creativity of a nation. This was done during me tenure at Enterprise IG.
