Qatar University unveils its new visual identity

QNA

Doha: Qatar University (QU) unveiled its new visual identity in a special celebration attended by QU President Dr. Omar Al Ansari, along with vice presidents, deans of colleges, officials, and staff from various sectors of the university.

The logo consists of three important elements, starting with the seven pillars representing the iconic architectural identity of Qatar University. The number one ‘1’ reflects university’s standing as being the first and oldest institution of higher education in the country, with nearly every household in the Qatari community having affiliates associated with the university. The commitment to preserving the design of the Islamic mashrabiya in the logo was also emphasized, reflecting adherence to principles, values, and Islamic identity with a subtle update to its lines.

During the ceremony, QU President Dr. Omar Al Ansari said: “Thanks to the contributions of its faculty, researchers, and graduates, the university has achieved numerous successes and significant accomplishments and has climbed the highest ranks regionally and internationally. These successes strengthen loyalty to the university among the QU community, alumni and prospective students.”

He added: “We must first consider that rapid cultural and human growth necessitates that we work in parallel to keep pace with this development, while committing to preserving our identity, values, and achievements. Our goal as a university is to leave an impact on the local and international community through our graduates and educational and research outcomes.”
