Deconstructing Typography Into
Deconstructing Typography Into
An Abstract Branding Symbol.
Services: Full Visual Identity & Stationery
Location: Dubai, UAE
Designer: Srna Studio
Year: 2026
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge was to create a logo along with a full visual identity for a new brand using Arabic letters. The core constraint of the brief was clear: the logo needed to look like an abstract symbol rather than a standard, predictable corporate wordmark.
THE SOLUTION
We built the mark entirely from the Arabic letterforms of the word “Nafas” (Breath). We systematically deconstructed and rebuilt the characters until they completely stopped reading as standard text and started looking as a powerful, unified symbol.
THE IMPACT
- Identity Treated as Craft
- Original Abstract Symbolic Asset
- Cohesive Cross-Channel System
- Exclusivity Framework Position
