Especially seeing as the event is called Dubai Lynx.<BR/><BR/>The inspiration from Hassan Massoudy goes as far as purely his elegant brush strokes, rather than simply just one of his works. We also researched other traditional decorative calligraphers from around the world. I have visited exhibitions of Hassan Massoudy's work and other calligraphers to study their style as we wanted to represent a modernised brush stroke.<BR/><BR/>I see that you have picked a certain piece of his work to link to. I think you'll probably find a much greater variety of words in his work if you look further. These will often contain similar brush strokes within different contexts. Most of them dealing with community and peace. <BR/><BR/>Here is a gallery for you to look at if you are interested in his work:<BR/><BR/>http://perso.orange.fr/hassan.massoudy/galerie.htm<BR/><BR/>NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-28667820666616700862007-02-11T04:18:00.000+04:002007-02-11T04:18:00.000+04:00At best, the lines would qualify to be four 'Aleph...At best, the lines would qualify to be four 'Alephs' and not the Arabic alphabets in 'Allah'. It's more like cat's ears.<BR/><BR/>Also, the designer has been upfront and credited the Iraqi calligrapher for the derivation of the style.<BR/><BR/>Even in the most ancient Arabic script styles, the logo does not read 'Allah'.<BR/><BR/>farrukhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-62111965884842716002007-02-10T02:40:00.000+04:002007-02-10T02:40:00.000+04:00Hashem, the logo looks normal to me, just a logo. ...Hashem, the logo looks normal to me, just a logo.

Part of the...I think you're seeing too much there. Part of the problem is that the simplicity of the letters that form Allah in Arabic are easy to be read into too many things, such as the Walls ice cream logo.<BR/><BR/>Even if the guy was inspired by Arabic calligraphy that happened to say "Allah", assuming he doesn't read Arabic he is effectively just copying a pattern.secretdubaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115610824191031176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-79169169188320564962007-02-10T00:23:00.000+04:002007-02-10T00:23:00.000+04:00ok, It appeared that this prick: http://www.nickhe...ok, It appeared that this prick: http://www.nickhearne.co.uk/printidentity1.htm was "inspired" by this guy's calligraphy: http://www.concentric.net/%7Elndb/massoudy/mc01.htm<BR/>and unintentionally it came out to read "Allah".<BR/><BR/>Is it really clear, or am I exaggerating?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-49643820568515960392007-02-09T23:56:00.000+04:002007-02-09T23:56:00.000+04:00Holy Shi* !!!
