Here We Start – Join Us in Our 2nd Anniversary

With this issue, we mark our second anniversary of Sail eMagazine. In those 2 years we witnessed many great achievements for the team, a lot of growth in the content, and definitely, a steady increase in our readership.

To commemorate this date, we are hosting an event on the 3^rd of March, 2012 to celebrate where we have reached with our journey, and to celebrate our team with our readers. Join us in our anniversary! For more details about the event, please view this link.

Also, with our 2nd anniversary, we are revealing our new logo. The new logo, designed by Shamsa Al Abbar, is meant to reflect a publication style of a logo, and also to integrate officially the electronic “e” into the logo, so that our logo can reflect our identity of being an online magazine through stating it as an eMagazine rather than a Magazine. Many thanks to Shamsa for helping us redefine our logo as per our vision.

We are glad to announce 2 new members to our team, Abdulla AlSuwaidi is joining us as an editor, and Fatma AlHashemi is joining us an illustrator. We welcome them both to the team and hope you enjoy their work.
