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.
Identity redesign · Algiers
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
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.

The logo was designed for French; the Arabic version is patched together for each new medium, never the same.
A bilingual Arabic–French identity (in French) →A pixelated image pulled from social media instead of a vector file: every printer retouches it their own way.
Changing everything because the team is bored throws away recognition earned over five or ten years.
Logo redesign and rebranding: the method (in French) →What you get
The level of redesign is decided after the audit: a refresh is often enough.
All your materials gathered, what your customers recognise, what gets in the way: the findings that decide the level of redesign.
Two or three directions shown on your real materials, not just on a white background, then the chosen version refined.
An Arabic version drawn with the logo, on an equal footing, not added afterwards.
Horizontal, vertical, symbol only, one colour, very small size: every use has its version.
Colours, typefaces, usage rules and files: so the printer, the community manager and the sign maker all do the same thing.
The inventory of materials, the replacement order and the dates, packaging included, at the pace of your reprints.

Frequently asked questions
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.
No. A refresh is often enough: refined drawing, modernised typography, adjusted colours, and above all a system of variations that was missing.
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.
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.
No. We redraw it cleanly in vector, even for a simple refresh: you leave with all the files, and they’re yours.
Yes, but it’s a project in its own right, with its own checks: availability, domain name, pronunciation in French and Arabic, registration.
The level of redesign, the number of variations and materials to rework make the price. After the audit, you receive a detailed proposal.
