Super old camel

Just found this picture of an NBK camel bank but it must be super old as in 1970s or very early 80s old since the camel bank I had in the 80s looked different than this. I don’t think NBK had a logo when this camel bank was released since there isn’t even a logo on it.

Here is a link to the original photo plus some other pictures of Kuwait from the 80s like the one below of Salwa in 1984 after a rain shower all taken by a former KES teacher. [Link]

    I like the current chromed out camel.

    It sends a “Get rich or die tryin” vibe. If only the camel was to lean sideways on the box..

    notice that in the old nbk the camel was sitting down, and in the new logo he stood up ?
    whats next,he’s walking away ?
