ALBAWABA - Syria's rebranded logo recently stirred controversy on the internet after several social media users said that it resembles a German alcohol brand called 'Gut Avelsbach'.
Additionally, due to political tensions in Syria, several others mocked the new logo using memes in protest of the recently appointed Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, after the ousting of Bashar Assad.
On the contrary, many called the resemblance far-fetched and an attempt to stir hate towards something as simple as a rebranded logo. Several others pointed out that both logos use a golden bird as their base. Syria's new logo stirs controversy over German alcohol brand resemblance — 𝐓𝐍𝐓 (@TNT_arabic) July 4, 2025
The most noticeable difference is the addition of three stars above the bird in Syria's new logo, resembling those on the Syrian flag. However, the falcons on both logos look very similar as they are both striking the same pose and have the same number of feathers, which helped spark the controversy at hand.
A social media user wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) in response to a post discussing the matter in question, "A foolish comparison, and what's meant is even more foolish. Enough with these useless quarrels."
Another added, "I don't see it, there's definitely a difference..."
