Identity redesign · Algiers

Your brand has grown.Your logo hasn’t yet.

A logo made quickly to open the doors no longer keeps up with a company that sells to professionals, has a website, packaging, sometimes a second city. We modernise it while keeping what your customers recognise, give it its Arabic version and roll it out medium by medium, without months of old and new mixed together.

The real problem

Changing your logo is scary.Changing nothing has a cost too.

The fear is always the same: what if customers no longer recognise us? Done well, a redesign does the opposite: it makes the brand more visible, without losing anything that mattered.

Readability

Unreadable at small size

On a favicon, an avatar, a stamp or a 3 cm label, the logo becomes a blot. Yet that’s where people see it most.

Files

The files are lost

A pixelated image pulled from social media instead of a vector file: every printer retouches it their own way.

What you get

A modernised brand,ready to be used everywhere.

The level of redesign is decided after the audit: a refresh is often enough.

Diagnosis

Brand audit

All your materials gathered, what your customers recognise, what gets in the way: the findings that decide the level of redesign.

Creation

Modernised logo

Two or three directions shown on your real materials, not just on a white background, then the chosen version refined.

Bilingual

Arabic version

An Arabic version drawn with the logo, on an equal footing, not added afterwards.

System

Applications

Horizontal, vertical, symbol only, one colour, very small size: every use has its version.

User guide

Brand guidelines

Colours, typefaces, usage rules and files: so the printer, the community manager and the sign maker all do the same thing.

Transition

Roll-out plan

The inventory of materials, the replacement order and the dates, packaging included, at the pace of your reprints.

Each step is approved before the next: you always know what’s changing, and why.

    You follow: the roll-out plan

Frequently asked questions

Before you write to us,straight answers.

Will my customers still recognise me?

That’s the whole point of the audit: we identify what they recognise (a colour, a shape, a name) and keep it. The less we change, the more of the recognition you’ve earned is preserved.

Do I have to change my logo?

No. A refresh is often enough: refined drawing, modernised typography, adjusted colours, and above all a system of variations that was missing.

Do I need to re-register my trademark with INAPI?

A figurative mark is protected as it was registered. If the new logo differs significantly from the old one, a new filing is often necessary; keep the old one during the transition and check with an industrial property adviser.

Do I have to replace everything at once?

No. We plan it: digital changes in a day, packaging with each reprint so you don’t throw away stock. What matters is having an order and dates.

I no longer have my logo files: is that a problem?

No. We redraw it cleanly in vector, even for a simple refresh: you leave with all the files, and they’re yours.

Can you change the name too?

Yes, but it’s a project in its own right, with its own checks: availability, domain name, pronunciation in French and Arabic, registration.

How much does a redesign cost?

The level of redesign, the number of variations and materials to rework make the price. After the audit, you receive a detailed proposal.
