King Abdulaziz University — Brand Identity

Client: Center for University Education Development, KAU – Saudi Arabia

The Center for University Education Development at King Abdulaziz University sought a future-ready visual identity to support its role in enhancing higher education across the Kingdom. This brand identity project aligned with the center’s academic mission, institutional legacy, and societal impact, presenting a contemporary yet culturally rooted design system.


Client & Stakeholder Relations

Consistent Communication

Maintained structured check-ins with the center’s leadership team to ensure alignment with academic values and institutional vision.

Feedback Integration

Refined design iterations based on faculty and internal committee feedback, ensuring cross-functional buy-in from educators and administrators.

Stakeholder Engagement

Conducted collaborative working sessions to align the brand direction with strategic objectives such as lifelong learning, innovation, and national transformation.

Relationship Building

Fostered deep trust with KAU’s internal design and education teams, laying the foundation for scalable design implementation and long-term support.

Custom Icon System

As part of the KAU visual identity, I designed a bespoke icon library tailored for academic and institutional use. Every icon aligns with the brand’s line weight, rounded aesthetic, and core color palette—ensuring clarity and visual consistency across digital platforms, printed materials, and instructional tools.
