Events and conferences


Show up in the room
Events are where people meet North in person: exhibitions, government summits, briefings and our own conferences. Physical materials follow the same system, scaled for distance, lighting and crowds.
- Night for presence, Aurora for welcome. Booth walls, stages and roll-ups use the night sky; invitations, programmes and registration use Aurora and Dune.
- Read from 5 metres. One message per surface, in Display Bold, at least 100mm cap height on walls.
- Bilingual in the UAE. Signage, badges and invitations carry Arabic and English; follow the Arabic section for order and type.
- Keep the floor clear. Nothing important below 800mm: people, counters and furniture hide it.
Booth and back wall
One sky, one line, the sub-brands
- Back wall: night sky with the star high on a third line, the North logo top left, one tagline, the sub-brand lockups in a row.
- Side walls and counters: Midnight with the contour pattern; product demos on screens at eye height (1400–1600mm).
- Lighting: warm white (3000–3500K). Avoid blue LED washes; the star provides the cool accent.
- Print: fabric (SEG) for walls, matte to avoid glare. Approve colour on a printed strike-off: Midnight shifts on fabric.

Roll-up banners
850 × 2000 mm
- Logo at the top, 150mm from the edge; message in the upper third; QR code and URL at chest height; the bottom 200mm is a solid Midnight base (hidden by the stand and feet).
- One sub-brand per roll-up. Use the sub-brand glow colour in the sky.
- Text minimum 40mm cap height for the message, 20mm for the URL.

Step-and-repeat (press wall)
Logos for photographs
- Dune 05 background (it photographs well and doesn't blow out under flash).
- Alternate the North logo with one sub-brand or the event partner, offset in brick rows so any crop shows both.
- Logo height 120–160mm, gap equal to the logo width.
- Matte material only; gloss creates hot spots in photos.

Badges and lanyards
Name first, role by colour
Print names from the registration list; never handwrite on branded badges. Readable from 2 metres.

Signage and wayfinding
Bilingual, high contrast
- Midnight background, Snow English and Midnight 20 Arabic, Oasis arrows.
- English and Arabic in the same row, English left and Arabic below or right, following the venue's convention; arrows point the physical direction and are never mirrored.
- Include essential facilities: prayer room, toilets, exits, accessible routes, quiet room.
- A1 for directional signs, A2 for room signs; cap height at least 50mm.

Stage and screens
Holding slides and safe areas
- Holding slide: night sky, the logo, the event name in English and Arabic. Show it whenever no one is presenting.
- Keep key content in the central 90% (title-safe); LED walls crop unpredictably.
- Speaker slides use the presentation template in dark mode; minimum 32pt body on stage.
- Lower thirds for live video: Midnight band, Snow name in Display Medium, role in Text, the star at the leading edge. See Motion.

Invitations and programmes
Aurora and both languages
- A5 landscape, bilingual side by side with the bilingual logo lockup at the top.
- Date with weekday, time with time zone (GST), city; RSVP link or QR code.
- Government guests: titles and protocol per the Writing in Arabic page; confirm the guest list order with the host's protocol office.
- Programmes: A5 folded, Dune paper, agenda as a numbered list with times.

Merchandise
Quiet, useful, well made
- Prefer useful, durable items: notebooks, totes, quality pens, water bottles. Avoid single-use plastic.
- One mark per item: the icon, the star or a small logo. No taglines on merchandise.
- Colours: Midnight, Dune and natural materials; Oasis only for the star.
- Approve physical samples: embroidery and screen-print change colours and fine details (the star's points need at least 4mm).
