The visual identity of ICOM Dubai 2025
The newly launched website reveals the visual identity of the conference, drawing inspiration from traditional Emirati weaving techniques such as Al Sadu (woven with wool) and Al Khous (crafted from palm fronds). The design reflects the color palette of the United Arab Emirates and centers around a distinctive Sadu pattern, reinterpreting the heritage motif in dynamic and interactive ways, and embodying innovation, inclusiveness and cultural diversity. Designed with an elegant and user-friendly interface, the website offers a smooth navigation to explore the main features of the conference.
