00 — Identity

The living mark.

Ghafah Group is a tree. Roots that reach hidden water, a trunk that holds, a canopy that shelters. The mark carries the whole idea in five strokes — and reaches, at its tip, toward the water table below.

01 — Meaning
Canopy

The companies

Three strokes rising and spreading — the branches, each reaching into a sector, Ghafah Technologies at the highest point.

Trunk

The Group

One vertical line holding everything together. Stable, upright, singular — the structure the branches depend on.

Taproot

The vision

A single root descending past the canopy’s height to a faint aquifer line — Zayed’s vision, thirty metres down, feeding all of it.

02 — Lockups

Horizontal and stacked, on Deep and Bone. Arabic is authored, never a mirror of the Latin.

03 — Clear space & sizing
Ghafah

Clear space ≥ the height of the mark on every side. Never crowd it.

48px
32px
24px

Minimum 24px for the mark, 16px favicon. Stroke weight thickens as size drops so the Ghaf stays legible.

04 — Colour

≈ 70% Deep · 22% Bone · 6% green + aquifer · 2% brass. Scarcity is what makes brass read as gold.

The mark alone, in a rounded tile. Brass on Deep is primary; a reversed ink-on-brass tile is permitted for light contexts. Stroke thickens with each step down.

07 — Usage
Do
  • Use brass on quiet, deep fields.
  • Scale proportionally — always.
  • Give it generous clear space.
  • Use ink-on-bone for light contexts.
Don't
  • Stretch or distort the proportions.
  • Recolour outside the palette.
  • Add shadows, gradients or glow.
  • Set brass as body text.
  • Rotate it or crowd it with other marks.
08 — Motion

One moment on load — not scattered effects. The mark draws itself: taproot first, then trunk, then canopy, in the order the story is told.

Load orchestration
  1. 01The taproot descends toward the water table.
  2. 02The trunk rises — the Group takes hold.
  3. 03The canopy spreads — the companies reach out.

Draw 520ms · stagger 170ms · cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1). Reduced motion renders the mark fully drawn, instantly.

09 — Assets

Vector sources (SVG) plus a PNG raster for handoff. Fonts must be installed to render the wordmark files.

10 — Applications

The mark, at work.

The identity applied to the artifacts a group actually uses — a card, a letter, a signature, a share image, a title slide. Same five strokes, same quiet discipline, everywhere.

01 — Business card

85.6 × 54 mm. Wordmark on the face, details in mono on the reverse, Arabic authored as its own side.

To our partners,

Ghafah Group builds downward first — roots before canopy, foundations before scale. We would be glad to continue the conversation, in either language.
