The story
behind our
new image

We define problems in our society today and fight for the rights and freedom of people that can not do it on their own.

By highlight and put the spotlight on issues that might go unnoticed and unrecognized. We define issues for what they really are.

AFE is an entity of very important minds that work together to draw the line and create a safe society for those in need.

Diacritics / Harakāt

We found a great similarity between what we do and what diacritics do. Their main purpose is a phonetic guide or a phonetic aid, used in texts that demand strict adherence to exact wording.

Harakāt are used in ordinary texts in individual words when an ambiguity of pronunciation cannot easily be resolved from context alone.

Thus creating our visual identity to reflect the importance of talking and resolving community issues.
