Logo & Name
Founders of MLI aim at exemplifying how refugees can be bliss to their host community; they derived their business’ name from a story in the Islamic history, the story of Abdurrahman ibn Awf:
When the First Muslims were persecuted in Mecca, they sought refuge in Medina. Supporters in Medina (Ansar) offered half their properties to refugees from Mecca (Muhajirin); some Muhajirin accepted support, others rejected it. Among those who rejected direct support was Abdurrahman ibn Awf, a successful merchant who lost all his properties in Mecca. Abdurrahman gently rejected the offer of Sa’ad ibn Ruba’e to support and asked Sa’ad to lead him to the market instead. Thereafter, the story says, the thousands of camels in Abdurrahman’s caravans shook the land underneath Medina that people thought it was an earthquake every time caravans returned.

Market Leaders International logo consists of two symbols: double-hump Camel and Omega; the colors used are also highly symbolic:
- Double-hump Camel (symbol of the East and a reminder of the story behind the name “Market Leaders”) stands for the Silk Road which historically connected East and West and fetched prosperity to all the regions it passed through.
- Omega (symbol of the West) stands for the ultimate end of something; Market Leaders International’s ultimate goal is to contribute to the efforts of bringing East and West together; this East-West combination will eventually bring about the welfare and prosperity of the peoples in both sides of the world.
- The combination of blue (symbolizing spiritual richness of the East) and orange (symbolizing material richness of the West) denotes the actual status of Turkey as bridge between both sides of the world.
