As the Arabic language is perhaps one of the most integral commonalties of the an otherwise disparate and expansive region, the Mena Forum’s emblem is composed of the Arabic letters S M F, and serves as a recognizable motif that can have a wide range of applications. Additional key elements in the logo are its verticality and color gradation, which suggest change and growth - the theme of the forum.
The color palette is an extension of Stanford University’s brand. In its analogous color palette, incremental color saturation, and overall form, the logo is meant to evoke the feeling of change, growth, novelty, and resilience - all core values that are pivotal to our region.
Stanford MENA Forum aims to educate future business leaders about the region’s latest trends, opportunities, and challenges to inspire them to drive change and create local as well as global impact. Organized by the Stanford GSB MENA Club and the Arab Student Association at Stanford (ASAS), the forum brought together leaders in entrepreneurship, investments, technology, and innovation among others.
