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.
