01 / Process & Workflow

Eight phases. No surprises.

Every branding project moves through eight clear phases. The order isn't arbitrary — each phase builds on the last, which is what prevents end-of-project surprises.

02 / Discovery Questions

Before we start.

For the brand to express your business accurately, we need aligned answers to these. A more detailed questionnaire follows after contract signing.

About the project

  1. Is this a brand-new identity or a rebrand?
  2. What are your core services or products?
  3. When is the planned launch? Tied to any event?

About decision makers

  1. Who has final approval on the identity?
  2. Who reviews before them — the full circle?

About brand & audience

  1. What are the 3 core values of the brand?
  2. Who is the target audience? Demographics + pain points.
  3. Who are the top 3 competitors — what do you like / dislike about their identities?

About visual direction

  1. Bilingual brand (Arabic / English)?
  2. Colors or styles you prefer or want to avoid — and why?
  3. Required applications — website, packaging, uniform, signage?

📋 Online questionnaire available. A full interactive version is sent via email after contract signing. Fill it on phone or laptop, any time. 💡 Take your time. Precise answers now save weeks of revisions later.

Payment Methods

Bank transfer (local / international) · PayPal & Wise (international clients) · Electronic wallets (local transactions) · Cash for in-person meetings.

Transfer fees may apply depending on the chosen method and are paid by the client.

07 / Terms & Conditions

The fine print.

Standard terms protecting both parties. The signed version (with full party details) is exchanged after Discovery Call.

01

Scope of Work

The designer commits to delivering the designs and services stated in the agreed tier. Any work outside this scope is presented in a separate proposal subject to a new agreement.

02

Revision Rounds

The project includes two revision rounds (Round 1 + Round 2) after each phase presentation. Any additional revision is billed at $50/hour or a fixed rate defined in writing.

03

Timeline & Delays

The expected duration is set per the tier from the Kickoff date. Client delay in providing materials or feedback for more than 5 working days automatically pauses the timeline. The designer is not responsible for any resulting delay.

04

Client Responsibilities

  • Provide requested materials within 3 working days of request
  • Consolidate feedback in a single organized response, not scattered comments
  • Respond within 48 hours of any phase delivery — approval or revision request
  • Identify the final decision maker clearly from project start
05

Confidentiality

Both parties commit to confidentiality of all commercial and technical information exchanged for two years after project end. Where the client requests additional confidentiality, a separate NDA is signed.

06

Portfolio Display Rights

The designer retains the right to display the project in his portfolio (Behance, Portfolio site, social media) after the brand's public launch. The client may request a delay or full project confidentiality for an additional fee defined in writing.

07

IP Transfer

Ownership of final designs transfers to the client upon full payment. Source files (AI, PSD, INDD) remain the designer's property unless explicitly agreed in writing for an additional fee.

08

Payment Mechanism

Payments are received per the schedule in the Timeline & Payment section. In case of payment delay, the designer reserves the right to suspend work until payment is received.

09

Cancellation Policy

If the client cancels after kickoff:

  • Before Strategy Sign-off — designer retains 50% of total project value
  • After Strategy Sign-off — designer retains 75%
  • After Final Concepts presentation — no refund

If the designer cancels for force majeure, the unrendered portion is refunded proportionally.

10

Professional Standards

Both parties commit that the produced content does not violate applicable laws or recognized professional standards. The designer reserves the right to refuse content that conflicts with his professional values, with written notice and proportional refund of unfinished work.

11

Contract Amendments

Any modification to the terms of this agreement is only valid after written signature (paper or electronic) by both parties.
