In March 2016, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, launched the official logo of Dubai Expo 2020. 

The logo has been inspired by a 4,000-year-old ring found at an ancient archaeological site in the Al Marmum area of Dubai.

Remarking on the logo during its unveil, HH Sheikh Mohammed said: “We have chosen an authentic Emirati logo for Dubai Expo 2020.

“The design of the logo is inspired by a civilisation that existed 4,000 years ago in an area extending from Baynounah in Abu Dhabi to Saroug Al Hadeed in Dubai and from Maliha Valley in Sharjah to the mountains of Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah
