01 · About

A threshold, not a wall.

The idea of the project came from the visual identity of Foundation Day by stripping the movement of camels and banners raised to unite tribes in the Kingdom under one banner and one great king. This concept symbolizes the strength of unity and the spirit of loyalty, where the rhythm of banners reflects pride, and the journey of camels mirrors the determination of generations, as the design aspires to embody the Kingdom’s resilience, progress, and ambition to remain steadfast on the path of greatness.

A contemporary interpretation of the banners and camel caravans that united the Kingdom under one flag.
