Meaning of EK emblem?

Hi

Anybody knows the meaning of EK emblem or what is written in the emblem which is on their aircraft?

Thanx

I think its just the arabic word "Emirates". It appears on the fuselage in normal script I think, alongside the larger, English language billboard version.

I may be wrong, but I think the "symbol" that appears on the engine nacelles and also on all marketing material, hats, uniforms and printed matter is just the same word in Arabic - i.e. "Emirates", but written in a "nested" configuration on two split levels, as apposed to the continuous form on the aircraft fuselage.


In English translation, what I mean is:


E M I R A T E S
(fuselage)






E M I R
A T E S
(engines, hats and literature etc.)



I know the above looks daft the way I've written it, but its the only way to explain what I mean.

The tail colours are clearly a stylised representation of a wavy national flag.

Thankx for the replies.

Now its clear.I also checked on some Arabic alphabet and I figured it out.
Also a friend of mine who used to work for EK told me the same thing.
