ILAA Maldives marks 25 years, launches new logo and website

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]ILAA Maldives Pvt Ltd has celebrated its 25th anniversary with a grand event held at Hotel Jen, unveiling a new logo and improved website. Established in August 1991 by Adnan Moosa and Hamdhiyya Abdul Gafoor, ILAA Maldives has been providing quality engineering solutions with world-renowned products across Maldives. Hamdhiyya Abdul Gafoor – the director and founding member of the family-run business gave a speech and informed the invitees about how the company was formed and how far they have come since.

As the event unfolded the new logo was revealed. Zaina Shareef, the designer involved gave a presentation on the design and how it was created. The emphasis was on giving new life to an ever-growing company that focused on environmentally stable engineering solutions. The main colours used were green and brown – green resembling sustainability and life, and brown representing durability. ‘Ilaa’, which is the Dhivehi name given for a burlap-textured leaf found on the coconut palm tree is also represented in the logo as a leaf that wraps around the letter “I”.

“With angular and structural forms, ILAA’s logo reflects an engineering company, the leaf reflects green technology and a company that values sustainable solutions,” said Adnan Moosa, the managing director of ILAA Maldives. “The abstract pattern on the leaf is derived from the crisscrossing fibres found in actual ‘ilaa’ leaves. This leaf distinguishes the company’s branding from its competitors.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”16176″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The company’s new website design was also launched at the event and featured an elegant presentation of the company’s profile, authorised brands and services.
