Dubai City Logo
The city of Dubai is an unlikely but captivating mixture of extreme modernity with ancient Arabic tradition. This logo is based on the time-honored practice of Kufric Script. This calligraphic art form was used to depict elegant and elaborately decorative motifs using typographical abstraction. By combining abstracted letterforms with the iconic skyline this logo seeks to bridge the gap between the new and the traditional side of this robust city. Conveniently, this also means the logo is bilingual as when these forms are translated from Arabic they read Dubai City.
