Brief basic information about monograms
A monogram is a special symbol consisting of a combination of the first letters of a person's first and last name. It is a unique artistic symbol. The letters are connected (intertwined) in such a way that their graphic design ultimately represents an aesthetic visual composition in an individual style, endowed with additional meaning and significance!
A monogram can consist of two lettersor an abbreviation of the entire name. In fact, it is a personal symbol that is often used instead of a signature. Family monograms can consist of letters belonging to the name of one person or the surname of an entire dynasty.

Thanks to our close, friendly relationships with artists specialising in Arabic calligraphy, we can offer a unique and exquisite personalised tughra featuring the owner's first name, surname and patronymic. This is created using a complex hand-drawing technique in accordance with the most ancient and vivid traditions of Islamic graphic art.
More complex compositions, (such as elaborate family monograms) , are artistic creations in which the letters have a special design and execution technique, as well as depth of thought and concept. Monograms differ from ciphers in that the initial letters are more intricately intertwined and complemented by patterns and decorations in the form of flourishes, wreaths and crowns. A cipher is also often an artistic composition consisting mainly of a single letter.

You receive a symbol that is in harmony with your style and character, which will be an excellent basis for forming your personal brand.

To create a worthy unique symbol, the artist-designer studies in detail and sensitively the information about the Owner, personal and business qualities, life values, principles, moral foundations and worldview, field of activity and profession, family relationships and status in society. That is, all the information that the Customer considers relevant. Based on this, a special image is formed, which is first realised on paper under the artist's pen and brush, and then transferred to electronic format.
