Islamic Tech Brand's Logo Design

Zaman Logo Design Brief

Brand name: Zaman
Meaning: “Zaman” means time. The product is focused on Islamic prayer timing, Iqamah displays, mosque screens, and in the future a standalone Athan clock that can either work independently or connect to a favorite mosque.

Brand personality: Modern, premium, clean, trustworthy, Islamic, technology-focused, and timeless. The logo should feel suitable for both a web/software platform and a physical consumer device.

Primary brand color: #007C16

The logo should primarily use this green, with optional supporting neutral colors such as white, charcoal, or black.

Design direction

The logo should be simple and professional rather than decorative or overly traditional. It should visually connect the ideas of:

* Time / clock
* Salah / prayer
* Mosque / Islamic identity
* Connection between mosque and home
* Digital technology

The designer may explore subtle references to a clock face, mosque arch, mihrab, minaret, crescent, or the letter Z, but the symbol should remain minimal and recognizable at small sizes.

A strong direction would be an icon where the letter Z is naturally integrated into the symbol, rather than simply placing a Z inside a mosque or clock shape.

Wordmark

The word Zaman should use a clean, modern sans-serif typeface.

Preferred characteristics:

* Geometric or semi-geometric
* Medium or semi-bold weight
* Clean rounded details
* Easy to read on screens
* Suitable for embossing/printing on hardware

Avoid highly decorative Arabic-style English fonts.

Icon requirements

The icon should work independently without the wordmark because it may be used for:

* App icon
* Browser favicon
* Device boot screen
* Physical Athan clock
* Display player
* Mobile app
* Admin portal
* Social media avatar

It should remain recognizable at approximately 24–32 px.

Logo variations required

Please provide:

1. Horizontal logo — icon + Zaman
2. Stacked logo
3. Icon only
4. Wordmark only
5. Full-color version
6. White/reversed version for dark backgrounds
7. Solid black version
8. Solid #007C16 version

Style to avoid

Avoid:

* Detailed mosque illustrations
* Multiple domes/minarets
* Complex Arabic patterns inside the logo
* Gradients as the primary logo treatment
* Gold-heavy luxury styling
* Generic crescent-and-star logos
* Clip-art appearance
* A standalone letter Z that looks pasted into the icon
* Thin details that disappear on small screens

The logo should ideally work as a single-color vector mark.

Product architecture

The identity should support future product names such as:

Zaman Display
Zaman Clock
Zaman Cloud

So the master logo should not look specifically like a TV/display product or specifically like a wall clock.
