ContextGAMI was established as Saudi Arabia accelerated the development of a more sophisticated and sustainable domestic military-industries sector.
Its mandate encompasses the regulation, development and performance of the sector, supporting investment, research and development, technology and the localisation of military-industries capability.
As a government authority operating alongside major national organisations and commercial entities, GAMI required a brand capable of communicating authority, confidence and ambition, while clearly establishing its own role within the emerging Saudi defence ecosystem.


ChallengeThe challenge was to create an identity for a new national authority operating in a complex and strategically important environment.
GAMI needed to be clearly differentiated from commercial defence organisations while retaining an appropriate relationship with the wider Saudi institutional landscape.
Particular consideration was given to the relationship between GAMI, SAMI and PIF. Each organisation had a different mandate and audience, but together they formed part of a broader national story around investment, industrial development and the growth of Saudi Arabia's defence capabilities.
The identity therefore needed to balance individual recognition with wider ecosystem coherence.


SolutionAeron developed a distinctive brand identity for GAMI designed to reflect the organisation's role as an authoritative, progressive and internationally credible institution.
The work considered how GAMI should relate visually and strategically to SAMI and PIF, creating an appropriate degree of connection while maintaining the independence required of a government authority.
The identity was developed into a coherent visual system capable of working across corporate communications, digital channels, publications, events and large-scale branded environments.
Clear principles and guidelines provided the framework for consistent implementation as GAMI's profile and international presence developed.
The result was an identity designed not simply as a logo, but as a flexible institutional brand system capable of representing Saudi Arabia's ambitions for the military-industries sector at home and internationally.

ResultThe new identity established a clear and distinctive presence for GAMI within Saudi Arabia's rapidly developing defence and aerospace ecosystem.
Its visual system provided the organisation with a consistent platform across communications, digital applications, events and international industry environments, helping audiences recognise GAMI's distinct role while maintaining an appropriate connection to the wider national transformation story.
As GAMI's presence has expanded internationally, the identity has provided a recognisable platform for representing the Kingdom's military-industries ambitions to government, industry, investors and international partners.
