Let me take you on a journey
As an Egyptian Arab designer, my identity is deeply rooted in my heritage, which has always fascinated and inspired me—just as it has captivated the world. From the magic of ancient Egyptian civilization to the elegance of Arabic calligraphy and the beauty of Islamic architecture, These influences aren’t just random inspirations; they’re part of my identity. So this isn’t just a logo, It’s kind of a visual story of me and summary of my journey, blending everything that’s shaped me as a designer. Nothing in it is random and every piece has a reason
The Eye - A Core Symbol of Vision
Probably it is the first thing can be noticed in the heart of my logo but it’s not just there to look cool—it actually carries a few layers of meaning.
A link to Ancient Egypt
Being Egyptian, I’m connected to a great history. The eye is a powerful cultural symbol deeply rooted in my identity. In ancient Egypt, the Eye of Horus and the Eye of Ra—ancient symbols—represented protection, power, and wisdom. Today, this eye reflects who I am—my roots, my heritage, and the legacy I carry forward. So yeah, the eye just had to be there.
A Designer’s Perspective and vision
If there's one thing that defines my work, it's the way I see things—the eye in my logo represents a designer’s vision that goes beyond the surface. It symbolizes a artistic perspective capable of transforming ideas into meaningful designs, with a deep understanding of symmetry, contrast, balance, and color harmony. This eye reflects creativity, keen observation, and attention to detail.
Nostalgia for the Beginning
This one’s personal. If you ever used the older versions of Photoshop in the early 2000s, you probably remember the eye icon and the splash screen image featuring an eye. That was my first real step into design—the moment my journey began. Photoshop 6.0 was where it all started for me—just experimenting, pushing pixels, and discovering what I could create. So, in a way, this eye isn’t just a symbol of vision—it’s a quiet nod to that moment. The moment I realized, "Yeah, this is what I want to do."
Islamic Art & Professionalism
That geometric overlapping frame around the eye? It’s more than just decoration. It’s a visual philosophy—structured, intentional, and always evolving.
Inspired by Islamic Art
Islamic patterns are a masterful blend of structure and creativity—precise, balanced, yet full of life. They follow strict mathematical principles while still feeling dynamic and expressive. That’s exactly how I approach design: a fusion of logic and artistry, precision and fluidity.
A Symbol of Growth
The overlapping squares?They represent evolution, progress, and lifelong learning. A designer is never truly "finished"—we continuously refine, expand, and push our craft further. Each layer in the frame reflects that journey, adding depth, experience, and mastery over time.
Arabic Calligraphy
One of my favorite details the way the eye is built—using an Arabic calligraphy brushstroke. Look closely, and you’ll see that the eye isn’t just drawn—it’s formed with strokes inspired by Arabic calligraphy, blending tradition with modern design. this detail isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about cultural roots while pushing design forward.
