Sabbar (Arabic for "cactus") is a podcast initiative launched by a media group to platform the lived experiences and narratives of former political detainees from the Syrian Assad regime. The core design challenge was honoring the podcast's name while strictly avoiding a literal or cliché depiction of a cactus tree. The creative breakthrough reframes the former detainees as courageous survivors—unsung heroes. The iconic posture of a hero flexing their arms mirrors the tri-branched structure of a saguaro cactus, forming an abstract symbol of strength, resilience, and endurance.
