ه
The seal of ه.
— The Arabic h, framed by a hairline. Direct counterpart to the original Latin monogram, but in our chosen script.

ه
Just the letter.
— A single Arabic heh in Ruqaa. No frame. The letter is the mark, the same way a signed monogram is a signature.

most bilingual
The ligature.
— Italic Latin h with a tiny Arabic ه sitting where the dot of an i would be. Two languages held in one glyph.
halaGPT · هلا
F · 4
abstract
The flourish.
— A single Ruqaa-inspired stroke, abstracted. Reads as a writing motion more than a letter. Distinctive but not a glyph anyone owns.

F · 5
readable
هلا
هلا — the whole word.
— Three letters together. Slightly compressed, but says hello outright. Works best where favicons are rendered above 24 px.

hه
Two letters, one rule.
— Latin h above, Arabic ه below, a hairline between. The most explicitly bilingual mark — neither script wins.

هلا جي بي تي — leading.
— Ruqaa carries the brand at full size; italic Latin sits below as the courtesy line.

balanced

Equal, divided by a hairline.
— Both wordmarks at the same height. The fairest reading; the longest in print.

Stacked, two scripts deep.
— Book-cover formal. Fits narrow nav bars and tall posters alike.

The complete lockup.
— Framed ه on the left, both wordmarks on the right, sub-line below. The full system in one mark; use it on covers, mastheads and decks.
III.
Monograms — four marks for the small spaces.
Avatar, app icon, watermark, pin. Each is a wordmark reduced to one or two letters.
M · 1
brand monogram
ه
— Hairline frame, Ruqaa ه centred. The official monogram.

calling card
— bilingual head, on vellum stock.
— my recommendation
Favicon F·1. Wordmark W·1. Monogram M·1.
F·1 — the framed ه. It is the rare favicon that survives 16 px and still says this is an Arabic-first brand. The frame is what gives it shape at small sizes.
W·1 for the masthead — Arabic large, Latin in the margin, hairline between. The bravest reading. Pair with W·2 for footers where horizontal space is generous.
M·1 as the primary monogram — and M·2 as its reverse, used on the wax seal and the loading state.
