Institute Logo
Right: Original design by Rafic
Saab; Left: Present logo design developed by the University Publications
Office.
After its inauguration in 2006, the IFI
for Public Policy and International Affairs held a student
competition at the American University of Beirut, in
collaboration with the Department of Architecture and
Design, to design its logo.
Then 2nd year Graphic Design student Rafic Saab won the
competition and the accompanying $200 award. He explains how
the small i’s are “representations of human beings, joined
by an organic-looking F.” Saab adds that “the i’s were
designed using a serif font to join the serious world of
policy with the human aspect that it seeks to represent.”
The IFI would like to thank Najib Attieh,
Graphic Designs Manager at the University Publications
Office, for his development of the initial logo design into
its final form, and Leila Musfy, Chairperson of the
Department of Architecture and Design, for her support.
