Dubai: The Government of Dubai’s principal investment arm – Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) – has revealed a rebrand of its visual identity by incorporating a new logo.

Going forward, the Corporation will be known by its acronym ‘ICD’, the wealth fund said in a statement on Tuesday. The rebrand also coincides with ICD’s move to its new headquarters in Dubai’s latest landmark – One Za’abeel -developed and owned by ICD.

The new visual identity will reflect ICD’s dynamism and commitment to pursuing growth, development, and excellence, added ICD. Furthermore, the change signals ICD’s preparedness to adapt to the fast-evolving global investment landscape.
