AAccording to "Rabdan Visual Identity Guidelines- 2014 Version 1.1" (http://www.ra.ac.ae/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/RABDAN-GUIDELINES_-JAN-16-Basic-Ver.pdf):
"The brandmark we have chosen represents elements that personify our core messages and essence. The shield is incorporated, symbolizing our commitment to the defence of our nation and upholding values such as strength and valour. We have also incorporated the horse, which refers to our Arabian heritage and identity. The Arabian horse is a recognized symbol of elegance, strength, resilience and pride; all values we embody in our organization. Rabdan is also the name given to one of the original Arabian Horses, whose lineage still thrives today. Aside the shield we use the bilingual name: Rabdan Academy. The name is easy to read and elegantly aligned with the shield and horse. All the elements have been designed to be clearly identifiable while portraying a message of excellence and world class standards. This brandmark will be used for all our communication materials and the following guide will delineate how to properly incorporate the brandmark on different mediums, without sacrificing its integrity or legibility. The colors are White, Blue, 95% Blue, Gold, 95% Gold, and Silver, in Pantone: 287 C (Blue), 871 C (Gold) and 877 C (Silver). The
Typography is Corporate Latin typeface (for English) and Corporate Arabic typeface (for Arabic)"
