Given the sheer amount of positive feedback (you all know you rock) here’s formalizing the initiative.
I give thee “Going Local – Masna3na 2awla Beena”
Proposed way this will work:
1) It is an invitation to one and all to start going local (Arab) in all their purchase decisions.
2) On a weekly basis in this outlet I will post either an Egyptian/Arab success story or a customer complaint directed to a local company. Feel free to start e-mailing me those.
3) Once we are all settled and happy with logo and slogan we can move this to venues with higher traffic.
Hope you all had a splendid weekend and may you have a work week that’s nothing short of extraordinary.
P.S. I realize how hideous the msn Arabic in the circle is but photoshop is being difficult, would highly welcome assistance.
Yaaay, I am so in, but I think the logo needs work and I think an Arabic one would make more sense too.
I like the logo’s idea sooooooooooooo mcuh. But I have these comments:
1) I Believe that ( masane3na awla beena ) should be written in arabic, that way we won’t need another Arabic one. Besides it would look more professional.
2) I’d suggest a revision for the Egypt map, the 7alayeb region should be looking differently.
Jessyz: PLEASE volunteer for photoshop duty! 🙂
Belya: I KNOW! I totally agree, but I have photoshop 3 and it doesn’t understand Arabic as words only as letters! :S Will check regarding the map.
hehehe I’ll see if I can get an ME version of photo shop.
@jessyz I have ME .. probably tell me what u need to change and I’ll do it for u. Tomorrow I’m off day long and will love to help.
As well, new ps doesn’t need ME edition to write arabic 😉
yupppie, that’s awesome.
Jessyz: THANKS. I got yours will e-mail you my feedback.
Lasto Adri: Basically the text “masna3na awla beena” should be in Arabic rather than Arabic in English letters. Also open to any totally different logo suggestions.
Nerro: THANKS!
I likw the idea and also with writing masna3na awla beena in Arabic
