Brand Guidelines

The Dugsikaab brand represents Support, Structure, and Growth. These guidelines outline how to use our visual identity consistently across all platforms.

Concept & Meaning

Dugsikaab bridges traditional Somali education with modern technology. Our identity is built on ultra-minimalist concepts that rely on negative space and geometric simplicity.

Dugsi (School)

Represented by the outer arch of the 'D', symbolizing a doorway to the future, structure, and a safe learning environment.

Kaab (Support)

Represented by the vertical pillar and upward accent in the negative space, symbolizing lifting up, growth, and technological support.

The Brand Mark (Favicon)

The standalone 'D' Arch mark should be used when space is extremely limited, such as browser favicons, social media profile pictures, or app icons.
