Miral’s new logo is inspired by the theme of connecting and enriching. Miral connects partners and employees under a common ideology and purpose – to connect people in the moment at an experience or destination. Through these connections that it makes happen each and every day, it leaves people with a sense of pride, place and belonging, and memories that last them a lifetime. The three lines of its logo represent Miral’s three pillars: people, the importance of the commitment and passion of Miral’s employees to bring to life its ideas and how Miral is dedicated to their development; community, how Miral’s experiences and destinations positively impact the communities and cultures it serves; and environment, reflecting how Miral considers the environmental impact of its destinations and experiences and balances growth with a sustainable future. The brand elements are representative of zeros and ones, reflecting Miral’s commitment to become a data driven organisation, using the most advanced technology to allow for an in-depth understanding of guests to create more personalised and memorable experiences for them.
Miral also announced its three subsidiary names falling under the unified brand: Miral Destinations, previously Experience Hub, Miral Experiences, previously Farah Experiences and Yas Asset Management.
