A logo is not a brand — in Al Awabi, a brand is the sign above the shop, the packaging in the customer’s hand, and the profile picture on WhatsApp, all telling the same story in two languages. We design complete identities: strategy first, then logo, then the full system — colours, type, guidelines, applications. Honest branding al awabi companies can build on for a decade.
Al Awabi sits where the Batinah plain rises toward the Hajar foothills — a farming town of date groves and smallholdings, with the old fort watching over the fields. It is a local economy: producers and retailers serving their neighbours, with Muscat an hour away. The growth lever is the same as everywhere on the plain: reaching the city buyer directly.
Al Awabi’s producers and workshops thrive on local trust. The ones growing beyond the town are packaging that trust for wider audiences: farm shops with online ordering, workshops with visible reviews. Trust travels further than it used to — if you give it a vehicle.
For official background on business and tourism in the Sultanate, oman.om is the government’s portal — worth a read before you plan any Al Awabi investment, digital or otherwise. It also lists the official procedures and contacts that Al Awabi businesses usually need when formalising their online operations.
We build brands as systems, not single logos. For Al Awabi that means bilingual from the first sketch: Arabic wordmarks with proper calligraphic structure paired with Latin counterparts that share the same personality. Around them: a colour palette tested for Gulf sunlight and screen, typography pairings for both scripts, photography direction, and tone of voice in two languages. Deliverables include the guideline document your printers, sign-makers and social team will actually use — because a brand nobody can apply consistently isn’t a brand.
Honest numbers for Al Awabi: a logo with basic bilingual lockups and a mini-guide runs OMR 800–2,500. A full identity — strategy, bilingual logo system, guidelines, core applications — lands at OMR 3,000–10,000 depending on touchpoints. Packaging systems and signage programmes are scoped separately. Timelines: four to eight weeks for identity, longer with extensive applications. We show real pricing on the first call — branding with hidden costs isn’t branding, it’s a surprise.
Two languages, one brand — that’s the Al Awabi brief, and it’s harder than it looks. Colours carry different associations; typography must pair across scripts; tone of voice needs equivalent warmth in Arabic and English. We build the system to handle it: script-paired logotypes, tested colour contrast for harsh light, and guidelines that show — with examples, not just rules — how the brand behaves on a shopfront, a package and a phone screen. Consistency across scripts is what separates Al Awabi brands that look professional from those that look improvised.
The honest pitch: senior brand designers in Manchester, working with Al Awabi businesses over video with a process built for it — structured feedback rounds, annotated concepts, no endless revision loops. You get the thinking of a proper studio without the local-agency markup, and a bilingual identity system documented well enough that any sign-maker in Al Awabi can execute it faithfully.
What slows branding projects is not design, it is decisions — so we structure them deliberately. Two concept directions, two refinement rounds, clear decision points at each stage. Al Awabi clients are often surprised how quickly things move once strategy is agreed, because the strategy is the hard part and we do that work with you up front. By launch you hold the guidelines, every file format, and the confidence to apply the brand consistently for years.
A Al Awabi identity project starts with a discovery workshop — on video, about ninety minutes — where we pin down positioning, audience and personality before any designing begins. Then concepts: bilingual directions presented with reasoning, not just pretty pictures. You react, we refine through structured rounds, and within four to eight weeks the full system is documented and delivered. Bring an open mind and honest opinions; the strongest brands come from real conversations, not from briefs written to impress.

Straight answers to what Al Awabi businesses ask us most.
They’re written for non-designers: examples, do’s and don’ts, templates for common uses. Most Al Awabi teams apply the brand consistently after a single walkthrough session.
Logo with bilingual basics: OMR 800–2,500. Full identity with strategy, guidelines and applications: OMR 3,000–10,000. We show real pricing on the first call, with every assumption listed.
Four to eight weeks for a full identity; three to four for logo-plus-basics. Decision speed is the main variable — we structure feedback rounds to keep things moving without rushing.
Yes — applied design across shopfront signage, packaging, menus, uniforms and vehicle livery, mocked up before production. We can also liaise with your local Al Awabi suppliers on specs.
That’s the core of our Al Awabi work — both scripts designed together from the first concepts, so the Arabic wordmark has genuine calligraphic structure and neither language feels translated.
