Saudi Design Festival Visual Identity
Winner
Excellent Communications Design
Typography

Details
For the visual identity design of the Saudi Design Festival, we were inspired by the geometry found in traditional Arabic calligraphy. We worked with variable font technology to transform this geometry into infinite design possibilities. The wordmark was defined by 4 axes – each axis allowing to change the letterforms in weight, width, height & spacing. The visual identity became typographically rich, offering a wide range of usage options through the interactive typographic visual language.
The Jury‘s Statement
The typographic logo developed for the Saudi Design Festival translates traditional Arabic calligraphy into a modern striking design that gives the festival an eye-catching, distinctive identity.
