I watched the iPhone 3.0 SDK presentation and kept on hoping for that Arabic will be integrated or displayed correctly at the least. Nothing was explicitly announced but I was intrigued when Scott Forstall mentioned enhanced Language features. Well it looks like the 3.0 OS will be fully Arabic aware!

I love browsing Flickr. This gallery by design website Graphicology caught my eye. The photos compare how logos in products get translated to Arabic and it’s all very clever to be honest. To match the look and feel of a well-known design but in a different language isn’t the easiest of tasks. My brother Jamal does this for Artobrand, his design company.

The 7up logo in Arabic is a direct phonetic translation, where the UP is set in the 7 formation and SEVEN is the style of the English UP.

Cool.
