Public service icon set for Gulf government services
Designers building apps for the Gulf keep redrawing the same public-service icons: ID card, visa stamp, transit card, utility meter. An official-quality icon set in Illustrator's libraries - consistent strokes, Arabic label variants - would speed up every regional project.
I needed the set while designing screens around a uae visa status check flow: the status, document and approval icons had to read instantly for first-time users. A shared library would stop every designer in the region solving the same problem alone.

I personally think that building regional assets is a task the officials should solve, or the community... Illustrator is a tool used internationally, but it doesn’t mean it should provide the presets for each and any organization and country that uses it. Unless Ai provides a proper way to handle the default presets in full, it’d be forceful for other users who never needed anything like this. Libraries exist, meanwhile, and sharing them is something users can do.
Again, these are my personal thoughts on this.
