The company name, because your license, domain, trademark and signs all build on it. The One-Stop Shop handles registration and licensing, so agree the Arabic and English spelling of the name before you apply, and decide which language leads on each touchpoint if your shareholders and staff come from abroad. A logo takes 2–4 weeks; a full brand identity takes 4–10 weeks and adds strategy, imagery, voice, guidelines and a Figma library.

No. I work remotely with businesses in Sohar; there is no office or local team there. Calls and weekly check-ins run Sunday to Thursday in GMT+4, Oman’s official working week. If the job covers a fleet, site signs or packs, send photos of your trucks, gates, uniforms and current packs before the first call, so the applications are designed for what you actually use. You own all final files at the end.

Yes. If you need a rebranding specialist, a rebrand covers a new strategy and identity in 6–12 weeks; a lighter brand refresh takes 3–6 weeks and keeps what still works. For a contractor or transporter, the new look has to work on trucks, uniforms, site boards and tender documents, so I show it on those in the identity phase and hand over master files your team and suppliers can switch to in stages. If the name changes, check your commercial registration and trademark with your lawyer first.

In most cases, yes. Arabic is Oman’s official language and English is widely spoken, and in 2024 expatriates were just over half of the 287,094 registered residents of the wilayat of Sohar, according to NCSI. For an industrial company the practical question is which script leads where: on tender documents, spec sheets, gate signs and trucks. In a full identity I set that in the guidelines; the bilingual logo design service covers an Arabic and English logo designed as one mark, with its lockups, in 2–4 weeks.

Usually a name, a logo and a pack. Logo design takes 2–4 weeks and packaging design 2–4 weeks, and both can grow into a full brand identity later. Oman’s Consumer Protection Law asks for the price, weight, production and expiry dates, ingredients and origin in Arabic on the product, so I design the Arabic panel together with the English one. Check that the name is free on the Oman Business Platform before the logo work starts, and have your lawyer file the trademark with the National Intellectual Property Office.

It depends on the scope: a logo for a new Freezone company, a full identity for a factory or a logistics firm, or a rebrand, in one language or two. After a free 30-minute call you get a fixed written proposal with one price, the timeline and the deliverables, and the price never changes mid-project. The guide to brand identity cost explains typical market ranges.

They are chosen for their sector, not their location, and I don’t present any of them as a Sohar client. ROMO Logistics in transport, Astrix Builders in construction and ZAYAN in solar energy are my closest real work as a visual identity designer to Sohar’s logistics, industrial and energy companies; the Bright Fizz soda cans are my closest packaging work for its food and drink makers.
