Branding
HBKU has revealed a new unified brand identity and a new website this year. [20]
The new HBKU logo, revealed in November 2016, is based on one of the prominent geometric shapes found in Islamic architecture: the triangle. Patterns based on the triangle can be seen extensively across the buildings within Education City, linking HBKU to Islamic heritage and culture while also signifying an embedded intellectualism. The logo is a combination of the initial letters of the university's name, HBKU, in both Arabic and Latin characters, signifying its role as a locally focused but globally minded academic institution.[21]
