Identity for Masar Legal Company, a Bahraini law partnership: an enhanced logo, a corporate type system in Mersal Arabic and Readex Pro, a pattern drawn from the logo, and stationery and signs in deep green and metallic gold.

Role
Logo enhancement, corporate typography, stationery, signage

Masar Legal Company is a Bahraini law partnership; masar is Arabic for path. Its logo paired a strong Arabic mark with an English name in a high-contrast serif that did not match it. The identity keeps the mark, enhances it, gives it a type system in Arabic and Latin, and builds a pattern from its forms.

Logo enhancement

The Arabic mark stays and sits inside a gold frame, with MASAR re-set in spaced capitals aligned to it.

The current Masar logo: the Arabic mark in dark green above MASAR set in a high-contrast serif, noted as a mismatched English font.

Supporting element

A bracket from the logo’s frame is the supporting element. Set on a grid and repeated, it becomes a band of small rectangles in gold and green that runs across the applications.

Stationery

Deep green, Pantone 627 C, carries the identity; metallic gold, Pantone 871 C, marks the frame, the pattern and the name. On the A4 bag, each side panel is half green, with the contact details, and half gold, with the address.
