Dubai’s new logo has symbolic elements in its design.
The Falcon placed on top above the other elements symbolizes authenticity and pride. The Dhow below the falcon signifies Dubai’s history as a center for trade and exchange, while the Palm Tree below symbolizes generosity and hospitality.
The Ghaf Leaves surrounding the Dhow and Palm Tree symbolize flexibility agility, tolerance, and coexistence. Lastly, the Flag that surrounds all logo elements means safety and security for residents and visitors alike.
