01The ideaBeit Sahour 100

Beit Sahour, the house of the night watch, told in three symbols the town already owns.

The centennial needed more than a badge. It needed a visual language that carries the spirit of the town, tells its history and looks ahead. A living heritage that grows without losing its roots.

  1. 01The hills and the archThe fields where the shepherds lived and heard the news of the Nativity, under the arch of Ras al-Mazbaleh, the gateway to the old town.
  2. 02The shepherdHe stands watch with his staff, like the town's own name: Beit Sahour, the house of the night watch.
  3. 03The 100Two zeros drawn into each other: continuity between generations. Soft curves for a town that keeps growing, a solid build for one that stays.

Twelve icons, one town

Each tile is a piece of Beit Sahour: the Orthodox church tower, the Shepherds' Field church, the crescent and the mosque, the angel of the annunciation, the sheep, the hills, the staff, the Canaanite letter beit, the old town. Red and stone tiles alternate and butt together into one frieze.
