Logo Adaptation for Non-Latin Scripts

We adapt your existing logo and visual identity for non-Latin scripts. Specialist designers work natively in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hebrew, Cyrillic, and Devanagari.

When Your Logo Needs to Speak Another Script

Transcribing your brand name phonetically into another script is not adaptation. It is the minimum. Authentic logo adaptation means a designer fluent in that script's visual conventions has created a version that carries the same weight, personality, and registrability as the original. A Chinese wordmark that looks like it was created by a Chinese brand studio. An Arabic version with calligraphic integrity. Text inside logos and icons is checked by our professional translation agency before any artwork is adapted.

How we approach logo and visual adaptation

We deliver adapted logos in full vector format, suitable for trademark registration, print, and digital use in every required market. Each adaptation is reviewed by a native-script designer and a linguist to confirm accuracy before delivery. When a redesign is presented to partners abroad, our interpretation services support the meeting on site or through remote interpreting, and official certified translations cover trademark filings for a US or European office.

Key Deliverables and Benefits

  • Calligraphic Adaptations for Arabic and CJK

    Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean adaptations crafted by designers who work in those scripts professionally, not transliteration overlaid on a Latin form.

  • Proportionally Balanced Script Versions

    Each adapted wordmark is optically balanced within the same bounding-box proportions as the source logo so co-branded lockups remain consistent across languages.

  • Vector Delivery in All Required Formats

    Final files delivered in AI, EPS, SVG, and PDF. CMYK and RGB color profiles included. Print-ready and screen-ready variants for every adaptation.

  • Trademark-Compatible Adaptations

    Each adapted version is designed to meet the distinctiveness requirements for trademark registration in the target market. Guidance on registration categories available on request.

Logo and Visual Adaptation: Frequently Asked Questions

Is a logo adaptation the same as a translation of the brand name?

Not exactly. Adaptation involves a choice: phonetic transliteration (how the name sounds in the target script), semantic translation (what the name means), or a completely new native-language name that captures the brand essence. We advise on which approach is most appropriate for each market and handle execution for any of the three.

Can you adapt logos for multiple scripts in a single project?

Yes. Multi-script projects are common. We have handled projects requiring simultaneous adaptation into Arabic, Simplified Chinese, and Cyrillic as part of a single global brand rollout. Consolidated briefing and review rounds keep costs and timelines manageable.

How long does a logo adaptation take?

A single-script adaptation typically takes 5 to 10 business days including two rounds of revisions. Multi-script projects are scoped individually. Expedited service is available for launches with fixed deadlines.
