Visual Identity
Three Elements. One Journey.
Inspired by a legacy of excellence and a future driven by innovation, the Congress identity is built upon three interconnected pillars that define the spirit and ambition of RHIC 2026.
Pillar I - Sustainability
The Roots
Where progress begins.
The green element embodies continuity, resilience, and the preservation of knowledge — building upon achievements and transforming experience into a platform for future growth.
Pillar II - Leadership
The Present
Where vision becomes reality.
The deep blue element symbolises excellence, empowerment, and impact — where knowledge becomes practice and ambition translates into meaningful outcomes.
Pillar III - Innovation
The Horizon
Always looking ahead.
An intentionally open form reflects limitless possibilities, new discoveries, and the power to reimagine healthcare through emerging technologies and transformative ideas.
The Thread That Connects Them All
Artificial Intelligence & Digital Transformation
Running through the three pillars is a single line — symbolizing the power of artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
It is the force that connects experience with opportunity, knowledge with action, and today's achievements with tomorrow's possibilities — much like the ancient frankincense routes that once connected civilizations and cultures across the world.
Luban — RHIC 2026 Icon
A Symbol Rootedin Omani Heritage
Inspired by Omani frankincense, Luban embodies a legacy of connection, discovery, and cultural exchange.
Just as frankincense once travelled across continents, bringing people, ideas, and civilizations together, Luban represents the spirit of RHIC 2026, a platform where knowledge transcends borders and collaboration inspires progress.
More than a mascot, Luban is an ambassador of innovation and a symbol of the journey that begins with sustainability, grows through leadership, and looks toward a future shaped by discovery.
