Do you wanna waist your time to talking about a crap element with four english alphabets and a stupid circle colour pallet. Commoun leave that BKME, the Account Executive will be very happy to make the all design industry bad,when he say himself he is a designer. And you know guys the most famous logos are not from any of the ad agencies! yes there is people who is professionals called BRAND IDENTITY SPECIALISTS, VISUAL IDENTITY SPECIALISTS nor IDENTITY DESIGNERS, and they are not just designing a logo, there is Wordmarks, Monograms, color, type, positioning, do's and don'ts. Come on how many of you know A designer in this market studied visual Identity Managemnet? How many of the agency management or Creative Directors are bothered about it? so guys JUST REMEMBER in this country whoever worked in a farm in their own town will find a job here in an agency become and gain as Accounts Directors, guy who worked in a paint shop become Creative Directors, Designers...you know many of the creative directors in this market, if they go back to their own country.. they wont be able to work with an ADVERTISING AGENCY, not even as a moke up artist!!! Photoshop or illustrator never make a designer. it is Just a tool instead of a pencil and paper or a colour pallete. So guys please dont try to play hotel califonia on a "OUD" study guitar before you try to play a music. same thing here before attempting to create a logo, Dear ACOOUNT EXCECUTIVE, bere in mind there is an art behind it, there is practice, theory, harmoney solo.... Dont talk about new KNPC. Shut down your G5 and sleep well, Dream about a logo Hi dood,

If U think That joining an university makes u perfect ,show me one guy from a design university who is perfect and i will show 1000 who turned out stupid. I Agree with u that the designs are bad and there is room for improvement,But if u consider urself a Professional in the creative field then Give Constructive Critisim where someone can benefit ,if u cant then why talk at all. c ya hi,

Osoul..? Thats an L and stays that way. you are a designer and you should know when to break the rules,(readability? everyone reads it) and you see shapes rather then alphabet since you cant read Arabic..anyway..thats a new L in the Typeface, you have a an issue?..don't use it laters ;) Fixed?? Osoul..? Thats an L and stays that way.

My advice, take some Arabic calligraphy lessons.

Basically that he was very proud of the logo. i think bassam meant the guy was talking AS IF he was the designer. Basically that he was very proud of the logo.

Its a moon? Wtf I see the moon every night in the sky and that doesn't look like a moon. Bassam your Account Manager was the designer of that logo? No wonder it looks bad. I just saw it in the street on the mega board I could not see anything with that yellow on white. I just hope your account manager is a better banker than designer. DS RULES!
