Through collaborative efforts, research and
in-depth studies and according to the values
and mission of the esteemed organization,
the logo has been designed. It is based on
the unity of the GCC and inspired by the
common bond of the sea. A source of
prosperity and livelihood for the region, the
sea and the sea faring vessel of the dhow
forms the central idea in the design theme.
Symbolically, the logo represents the flow of
statistics from GCC to the world.The logo design is inspired by the dhow. The traditional dhow takes pride ofplace in the cultural context of the region. It heralded progress, ensuredprosperity and helped communities thrive. The structure of the dhow formedby various planks coming together to form one, symbolises the six nationscoming together to form one forward thinking organization.

Like how the dhow steers ahead, always moving forward, in the very same way GCC STAT helps navigate the way forward with the help of statistical data that enables decision makers and organizations explore new research and reach new conclusions. It symbolically serves in navigating a way forward. A metaphorical symbol for GCC-STAT of the flow of statistics from the GCC to the rest of the world
