Development and manufacture of nominal monogram
Brief basic information about monograms

Monogram is a special sign shown as a combination of the first letters of a person’s first and last name. This is a special artistic symbol. The letters are interconnected (intertwined) in such a way that their graphic style, ultimately, is an aesthetic visual composition in an individual style endowed with additional meaning and value!

The monogram may consist of as two letters, so the shortening of the entire name. In fact, it’s a personal sign, which is usually used instead of a signature.The family monogram may consist of letters belonged to the name of one person or the family name of the whole dynasty.

Having close friendly contacts with artists working in the Arabic ligature technique, we can offer to make a unique and refined nominal tughra (name, surname, and patronymic of the owner) made in a complex technique of hand-drawing in compliance with the most ancient and vibrant traditions of Muslim graphic art.

More complex compositions (for example, complicated family monograms) are artistic compositions, the letters of which have a special style and performance technique, as well as the depth of thoughts and ideas. The difference between monograms and cipher in the intricate interweaving of initials’ letters, complemented by patterns and ornaments in the form of ornate, wreaths and crowns that are represented in the cipher. Also, a cipher is often called an artistic composition, mainly consisting of one letter.
