Logo Rationale

The logo is based on the concept of the “dot”, which resonates

with the computational digits of 01 [zero-one] and the tracing

structure of dotted letters (writing by tracing).

The dot has also several ethical manifestations as well including:

equality, transparency and wholesomeness. The fact that dots

are rounded resonates clearly with the multi-disciplinary nature of ketab’s product offerings. The

dot is related to thinking and innovation as well {connecting the dots, making things

happen…etc.].

Dots are fundamental building blocks of materials as atoms and points in a line, dots also

resemble the first technology ketab founders had envisioned of being in the form of a printed

pattern composed of dots.
