The idea was to represent the confidence that Dubai now offers the world. One Za’abeel is a higher order project, it’s for the city and the people to project an icon to the world stage. This idea of being outwardly inspiring gives that sense of reach internationally. In the same vein the destination draws people in and creates a magnetic pull which is ‘Inwardly Alluring’.
Created with impeccable purpose, inherently global and distinctive. The idea captures the vibrancy and delight of the varied offerings which are always remarkably eclectic.
Brash has created a brand identity that mimics the cantilever between the two buildings within an elegant wordmark–subtle and sophisticated. The design system through its graphic design, highlights the allure through a series of fragmented lines that symbolize the pull and attraction towards One Zaa’beel. It’s this detailed and delicate linearity that creates a special feeling, true to itself and its core idea.
