This is the biggest post to date. Design is dominant in this update, especially Broadcast design, with a combination of environmental, business, real estate, cartoon and game shows.

CARTOON NETWORK ARABIC:
Working for big brands like McDonald's and CNBC, is a great thing and an addition to any designer's portfolio.
But collaborating with Cartoon Network on their channel's launch in the middle east, is a joy not only to me, but also to my kids.
I was commissioned to create the Arabized version of the famous CN logo, home of Ben 10™ and the Powerpuff Girls™.
So keeping with the brand guidelines, I used the same typeface used in the original logo to write in Arabic. But the coolest thing was using the iconic CN letters in the Arabic wording.

CNBC Arabia ID and show re-branding-2011

In this big update, the Broadcast Design section takes the lion's share.
Following the global re-branding of the CNBC Brand, CNBC Arabia went to the drawing board, and re-vamped its identity and the main shows.

Below are some examples, but be sure to check the broadcast design section on the website for more animations.


CNBC Arabia ID-2011
The new look of CNBC Arabia is all about modernity, clarity and transparency in transmitting both its image and its News. So a clean and modern visual identity was a must.

"Business Arabia" show branding:
"Business Arabia" is a weekly show in English about Business in the Middle East, produced by CNBC Arabia for the European market, and airs on CNBC Europe.
So without going through the clichés of showing landmarks of the region, I decided to go for a more recognizable grounds to both foreign an local viewer. And going to the core of the subject of a show in English covering Arabia, the "language" felt more relevant and a step further than what's on the market.
So it took a considerable amount of effort and time to write Arabic using an English font, and keeping the same meaning and translation of each word.

"The Compass" show branding for 2011:
"Al Boussala" (The Compass),is the main Markets show on CNBC Arabia and covers five hours every day.
It is packed with animations, stings, break bumpers and endless templates of graphs and pie charts.

"Al Hasseela" (The Proceeds) show branding:
A daily wrap-up show of the markets and news o the day, or the Harvest of the Business day. So starting with this idea of the harvest, the concept evolved into a wheat field made of coins.

"Aqari" show branding:
Aqari in arabic means Real Estaste or my real estate, and that's what the show is all about. So going back to the basics of the the subject, I used architectural and construction props to build and illustrate the environment.

"Green Business" show branding:
With everybody so worried about the environment and the climate change, Business is no stranger to the dilemma. And CNBC Arabia is doing its part by dedicating a whole show to the matter. Bil Akhdar (in Green) is a program about Green Business and the companies which are doing something about it. That way, the environment is everybody's business.
