<p><strong>Origin Oman</strong> is a campaign run by PEIE that is meant to promote local Omani products and services and to creative awareness of the quality of these local products and services. It is the new version of the old &#8220;The Omani Product is Our First Choice&#8221; &#8211; ( Ø§Ù„Ù…Ù†ØªØ¬ Ø§Ù„Ø¹Ù…Ø§Ù†ÙŠ -Ø§Ø®ØªÙŠØ§Ø±Ù†Ø§ Ø§Ù„Ø£ÙˆÙ„ ) campaign. PEIE made a <a title="Origin Oman Logo Competition" href="http://www.oman3d.com/2008/04/12/origin-oman-competition/">student competition</a> to design the logo and <a title="Haitham Al Busafi" href="http://www.busafi.com/">Haitham Al Busafi</a>Â won.</p>
<p>His logo concept was of the word &#8220;Omani&#8221; in Arabic written as a spiral. His draft was selected by PEIE as the winning logo and then he was taken to Dubai to work with international branding agency Landor to guide him on how to transform his concept into the logo you see above. The logo is an outward growing spiral that tells is meant to resemeble the growth and expansion of Omani products and services. It is nice, simple, and smartly drawn.</p>
<p>The video below was shown at the launch event of the logo earlier this week.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZQQioFVXfDA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZQQioFVXfDA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>The Origin Oman logo will be used in all qualifying Omani products and services just like the Omani Product logo we see on locally made products.</p>
<p>I think that the best thing about the Origin Oman logo is that it was made by someone Omani.</p>
