In the demanding sector of engineering and technical services for the oil and gas industry, branding is more than just a logo on a website. It has to breathe in every physical space, assert the company’s solidity and unite teams around a common vision. It was with this strategic challenge in mind that RIDA T.S., a major player based in Tripoli, Libya, called on the expertise of DS Overseas for the graphic design of its headquarters.
This project was not just about decorating walls, but transforming the RIDA T.S. headquarters into a visual manifesto. By combining modern design, industrial codes and powerful bilingual messages, DS Overseas was able to create an environment that reflects excellence and innovation.

The Challenge of Spatial Branding in the Oil & Gas Sector
The head office of a company like RIDA T.S. is the first point of physical contact for international partners, regulators and future talent. In Tripoli, a city undergoing rapid economic change, a strong visual identity is a guarantee of professionalism and sustainability.
For a company operating in the refining, petrochemical and energy sectors, the perception of rigor and safety is paramount. The use of large-format posters on the walls helps to establish this culture as soon as you enter the premises. DS Overseas, a specialist in offshore communications, understood that each graphic element had to serve a dual purpose: to reassure customers of the company’s technical competence, and to motivate employees in line with the company’s mission.
Modern, Bilingual Graphic Design
One of the special features of this project was the need for bilingual communication. In Libya, as in many international markets, Arabic and English coexist. DS Overseas rose to the challenge of creating perfect typographic harmony between these two scripts, without sacrificing legibility or aesthetics.
One Team, One Mission: Unity at the Heart of Design
The first visual designed revolves around the notion of team. On a “teal” (deep blue-green) background, a color symbolizing serenity and technology, the message is clear: “One team. One mission.”
The poster uses dynamic geometric shapes to evoke the flow of energy and engineering precision. The balanced integration of the RIDA T.S. logo reinforces employees’ sense of belonging. This is where visual content creation comes into its own: transforming a corporate slogan into an inspiring visual experience.
Efficiency and Value as Graphic Pillars
The industrial sector is based on concrete results. The second creative axis focused on RIDA T.S.’s performance promise: “We drive efficiency. We deliver value.”
For this visual, DS Overseas opted for a bright, energetic orange. This color, a pillar of the customer’s brand identity, recalls action, industry and optimism.
The minimalist design, combined with white geometric motifs, adds a modern touch that breaks with the sometimes too austere codes of the Oil & Gas sector. By installing this type of signage in high-traffic areas or meeting rooms, the company constantly reminds its stakeholders of its fundamental commitments.
Integrity: the foundation of trust
In the engineering and technical services professions, integrity is not an option, it’s a foundation. The third visual created by our agency highlights this cardinal value: “Integrity is our foundation”.
On a clean white background, teal and orange elements underline the bilingual text. This choice of visual clarity echoes the transparency and ethics that RIDA T.S. instills in its projects, from marine maintenance to power plant construction. The design of materials of this type contributes directly to building a strong employer brand.
