Al Manahel

Client
Al Manahel for Hajj & Umrah
Year
2025
Role
Logo, custom wordmarks, visual identity

An identity for Al Manahel for Hajj & Umrah, a licensed Hajj campaign from Bahrain. The emblem sets the Kaaba inside two interlaced bands and draws on three sources: the circling of the Tawaf, Islamic pattern and Arabic calligraphy.

Three photographs on navy, labelled in Arabic and English: the Tawaf around the Kaaba, the Kaaba framed by a star-shaped opening, and Arabic calligraphy carved in stone.
Inspiration
The emblem in teal and white on navy: two interlaced bands, pointed outside and arched inside, around a white Kaaba seen from one corner.

Wordmarks

A custom bilingual wordmark sets المناهل, drawn with a long stretch between its letters, over almanahel in lowercase. An Arabic version stands alone, flat or stacked, and both carry the line for Hajj and Umrah with the licence number.
