a logo is born

We have a logo! Here it is, with and without English/Arabic text:

 

 

The concept is loosely based on the idea of the minaret–a stack of books like a staircase, ascending toward inspiration and knowledge. A very special thanks to Jeremy Wortsman from the awesome Jacky Winter Group, which represents Australian illustrators in the United States, for the design.

The logo will be incorporated into the project’s website as it gets snazzed up and gains in functionality in the coming months. Also, each book donated to the project will bear the logo on a specially designed label. Labels will also have information about each book, explaining why it was selected to be a part of the project.
