An identity system that holds together everywhere it is applied.
A logo is not an identity. An identity is the complete set of decisions — typography, colour, layout, imagery and tone — that makes your company recognisable across a shopfront sign, an invoice, a mobile app and a paid advertisement. We build identity systems bilingually from the start, because a mark that only resolves in Latin type is unfinished for a company operating in the UAE.
Positioning, audience, competitive context and the specific attributes the identity has to communicate before any visual work begins.
Not one lockup but a family: primary, horizontal, stacked, symbol-only and single-colour, each with defined minimum sizes and clear space.
Colour palette with accessible pairings, bilingual type scale, graphic devices, iconography direction and image treatment.
A practical document that shows correct and incorrect usage, so anyone producing material can apply the brand without guessing.
Company profiles, proposals, brochures, signage and stationery designed as templates rather than one-off files.
Post and story templates by content type, sized per platform, so daily publishing stays consistent without a designer each time.
Master templates with slide layouts, chart styles and bilingual text handling that survive being edited by non-designers.
Arabic and Latin typefaces selected to sit together at matched optical weight and size, with rules for mixed-language text.
We review existing materials, competitors and how the brand is currently perceived, then agree what needs to change and what should be kept.
A small number of distinct directions are presented with reasoning, rather than many superficial variations.
The chosen direction is developed into a full system and stress-tested at the smallest and largest sizes it will face.
Guidelines and templates are produced so the identity can be applied correctly by people who were not part of the project.
We sequence the application across digital and physical touchpoints and prepare the files each supplier will need.
Yes, and it is a common starting point. We assess whether the existing mark is technically sound — how it holds at small sizes, in one colour, and against dark backgrounds — then build the surrounding system of colour, typography and layout to support it. If the mark itself has structural problems we will say so and explain the options rather than quietly working around them.
Yes. Editable source files and full usage rights transfer to your company on completion. Licensed fonts are the one exception: those are licensed from their foundries directly to you, and we specify exactly which licences you need.
The design work is rarely the constraint — review cycles are. A focused identity with guidelines and core templates typically runs a few weeks when a single decision-maker is available; broader programmes covering many applications and stakeholders take longer. We agree the schedule and the review points in writing before starting.
