The Crescent:
Script and Calligrapher:
We opted for Arabic script for its versatility an beauty. “khat-
Sulus” a script which has graced the Islamic monuments for the
sub-continent to Turkey and Arabia, including the two most
sacred mosques. It stands for timeless traditions and values that
Muslims in these regions have shared for centuries, trade &
commerce included. Ustad-Shafiq-Uz-Zaman the only person to
do calligraphy in Masjid-e-Nabavi after 500 Years, is behind
crafting of the logo.
A rising crescent in the traditional green
encircles the motif and calligraphy. The
crescent has deep association , with the
