THE LOGO

THE SHAPE
Alwathba in Arabic means “THE LEAP” or “THE BIG JUMP,” signalling a desire for agility, growth and impact. The meaning is also reflected in the logo design itself, manifested in the gradation of the icon, which is derived from the Arabic letter “و” in Alwathba.
DESIGN
The dots on the letters of Alwathba are placed vertically as a symbol for data, as we strive to remain science driven in our approach to all questions, connecting decisions to evidence.
COLORS
The logo is composed of 3 colors, referring to our areas of specialty:
Needs assessment, impact assessment, data strategy and indicator design.
The red color in our logo is a reference to Alwathba’s relationship with Alnahda Society, and our continued commitment to advocate for inclusive policies, especially in serving the needs of women and lower income segments.
