Logo design is written in two languages at once

Much beloved by international holidaymakers, the Arab emirate of Dubai has just rebranded. And here's its new logo design.

Created by Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing, the new branding was launched by Prime Minister Shaikh Mohammad during a visit to the Arabian Travel Market, an event this week bringing together 2,700 exhibitors from 83 countries.

The logo will be used in marketing and promoting the emirate around the world, to emphasise that Dubai speaks with one voice, the Prime Minister said.
