Corporate Identity · designed by Dawaer, 2026. A visual identity for Essa Muqbil Alsubhi's law and arbitration practice, with a square Kufic mark and an Islamic ornamental band.
The mark sets the initials in square Kufic — a block of horizontal and vertical strokes with no curve. It is the script that survives engraving, stamping and severe reduction, which are exactly the uses a law practice has.
The second element is what separates this identity from its row: an Islamic ornamental band in blue, turquoise and orange, running down the edge of the card like tilework. Most law firms choose complete neutrality; this one chooses belonging — it says the practice is Saudi at the root rather than a copy of an international office.
The orange in that band is the calculated risk: a warm colour in a cold profession. But it is confined to a narrow strip and never spreads beyond it, so it reads as a signature rather than as decoration.
The card runs two ways: full blue with a white mark, and white with blue type — and the ornamental band appears in both at the same position, so it is what identifies the practice before the mark does.

Yes. An identity for a law firm is built on what distinguishes the sector — the mark and its variants, the colour system, the Arabic and Latin typefaces, and the stationery.
