F-1 Saudi Arabia GP Brand Identity Pitch
Inspired by Futurism, Speed, and Night Lights.
As part of a three-stage pitch for the inaugural Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, we crafted a dynamic brand identity focusing on visual impact, cultural resonance, and futurist aesthetics. The brief called for a design expressing the excitement and energy of Jeddah’s night race: thrill, exhilaration, fast-paced, and unforgettable. We offered a full package of brand identity with visual language, event look, graphic and colour strategy and digital and print collaterals.

Concept & Inspiration
Futurism and Arabic calligraphy became the creative foundation. I envisioned race track lines transformed into calligraphic strokes, evoking both speed and cultural elegance. Light trails morphed into typography, capturing the pulse of the night in Jeddah.

Logotype & Icon Development​​​​​​​
The wordmark creatively merges angular flow with calligraphic curves, inspired by the movement of cars under night lighting. In the second pitch stage, I developed a simplified version to function as a standalone icon—perfect for digital and small-scale use.
