The emblem of the Academy is made of four concentric seven-pointed
stars, from the center to the border:
- a golden yellow star;
- a white star;
- a red star fimbriated white;
- a red star.
The red stars have curved edges; accordingly, the whole emblem looks
like a flower. This is reflected in the Academy's motto, written in
Arabic and Latin in the upper border of the emblem, "floreat
scientia", "Let knowledge flourish" (this motto is also used by Massey
University, New Zealand). The name of the the Academy is written in
capital letters in the lower part of the border, surmounted by the
year of foundation, "2007".
