GEMS Education unveils new brand identity

GEMS Education, the world’s leading provider of K-12education, introduced a new global brand identity, which better reflects the company’s vision, mission and values. This visually engaging design will replace the well-known diamond logo. However, the sentiment behind the name “GEMS” remains – all children are precious and we will strive to meet the aspiration of our parents by unlocking the potential of every student
Commenting on the new branding, Dino Varkey, Group Executive Director and Board Member, GEMS Education, said: “It is amazing how far we have come. Over the past 55 years, GEMS Education has grown from one school in Dubai to a truly global company, with one incredible mission - to make a quality education available to every student. Together, our 13,000 plus colleagues across 16 countries share this one purpose: to empower human possibility around the world. This unifying goal is at the heart of our brand’s identity, and it lives in everything we do.”
Dino continued: “Our new identity captures the essence of who we are and the important role we play in developing students of character. Through their ambition, passion and humility, they are truly ready to change the world.”
Background Information
GEMS Education
In 1959, two teachers, KS Varkey and his wife Mariamma, arrived in Dubai.
At the time, Dubai was a burgeoning trade centre on the Arabian Gulf. The Varkey family had left Kerala, India to seek a better life for their family. What they found was a real need to educate children arriving in the city from around the world.
Their son, Sunny, added a visionary’s ambition to a practitioner's experience. From simple roots in a family of teachers, GEMS Education, is today an international company with schools and education services across the Middle East. We still share the same mission - to provide a quality education to everyone.
