Abu Dhabi Festival, held annually under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed  Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Shamsa bint  Hamdan Al Nahyan, is a beacon for innovators, artists, and cultural enthusiasts.

No One partnered with Abu Dhabi Festival to create a new visual identity and positioning that would  set them on the right path. Adaptable and dynamic, the new identity comes to life to reveal the  greatness of the festival. 

Fadi Yaish CEO and Creative Chairman of And Us Group states, “This partnership is a testament to  our team’s unwavering commitment to pushing branding and design boundaries, delivering tangible  value, and staying true to our core principles.” 

This year, Abu Dhabi Festival started their mission to transform the festival to level with the  most recognized festivals around the world — aiming to attract performers and audiences  from around the globe and position the festival as a major player on the global performance  arts scene. 

Giovanni Borde, Executive Design Director of No One states: “Different from previous years, our  main goal for Abu Dhabi Festival was to build an identity that is iconic and timeless. One that will grow with the festival — reinventing itself with every different festival theme. We did this by building a strong visual narrative around an element that is not only engrained in the festival’s essence, but  the entire arts and performance industry as well. ‘The Spotlight’ — The ultimate achievement of  any artist or performer. It is both emotional and aspirational, while also being completely adaptable.  With this in mind, the possibilities are endless.”
