Contest Brief

I'm looking for a logo (English and Arabic) as the first step of brand identity for a technology company that offers high tech software products and services. Designer of selected logo may be hired for further branding works. Please read the instructions carefully.

The brand name is "Ijra'at" in English, the apostrophe in the name is very important, don't miss that. For Arabic text, please see the attached picture. Ijra'at is an Arabic word meaning "Procedures - proceedings - steps". We primarily need logo in English but its Arabic counterpart as well as a mashup of both English/Arabic would be highly appreciated.

The logo should have following design aspects within itself:

1) Textual Logo.
IJRA'AT should be a simple text based logo in English as well as in Arabic.

2) Graphic Part
The graphic part (shape/icon/pattern) should be minimum and unique.

3) Negative Space
Embed a shape/icon/pattern in the negative space within the text or separately. Give the logo some visual depth in negative space i.e. not visible at the first glance.

Clarification: Please try to incorporate something within the text ( in negative space ). For example:

Fedex Logo ( The arrow b/w E and x ) http://www.toxel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/logo09.jpg
Amazon Logo ( Arrow from a to z ) http://www.toxel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/logo04.jpg
NBC Logo ( the peacock ) http://www.toxel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/logo07.jpg
Carrefour Logo ( the hidden C ) http://www.toxel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/logo14.jpg

  Important: To everyone who's saying that this competition was a scam and that we stole someone else's entry please bear with me when I say it's other way around. The design you see on http://www.ijraat.com/ and ijraat.com/v2 has been designed by one of our in-house designer about an year ago.
  
  Here's a snapshot of of web archive from April 27, 2014 as proof that the design was there previously. The entry that submitted the our own design has now taken off/withdrawn.
  
  You can all check on the internet way back machine that the design's been there for over a year and we DID NOT use any non-winning submission as a design. I hope this clears it all. Here's the link to the website snapshot from April last year.

  Now that we have selected graphics7's entry as a winner, you'll see a slight modified form of that design on the website in a couple of months when we launch. Thank you all
