In 2013, I began a journey with the founders of Impact to create a visual identity that could truly carry their mission. We spent a long time talking about the complex and difficult goals they were facing in a Syria torn by war, and their deep belief in the need for peace and a strong civil society. I wanted to find an iconic symbol rooted in Syrian history that could express how our people are naturally woven together. The idea was to show that our cultural and religious diversity is a source of strength and cohesion, so I designed the logo as a blend of the Damascene Rose and the intricate geometry of Arabesque. It feels like authentic Damascene stained glass a design where every line overlaps and connects to form a single, beautiful, and unified pattern.
