An N drawn like a payment schedule

The mark is the first letter of Nteqo, built from cells like an installment schedule. The left stem and the diagonal are paid; the right stem is split in two: the lower cell is paid, the upper one is not due yet.

  1. Stem and diagonal

    Recorded payments, in full colour.

  2. Lower cell

    The latest payment the shop recorded.

  3. Upper cell

    The next installment: the same colour at 45% opacity.

The mark is never mirrored on Arabic pages. It is a Latin letter and reads the same in both directions; only its position follows the page direction.

How we write

  1. Plain and specific

    Say exactly what the product does, in the words a shop owner uses: installment, payment, reminder.

  2. Arabic first

    Arabic is written first, in plain Modern Standard Arabic a Lebanese shop owner reads comfortably, then English. No literal translation either way.

  3. No hype

    No invented numbers, no testimonials, no buzzwords. Every sentence traces to what the product actually does.

  4. Respectful with buyers

    Write to buyers calmly and clearly: what they owe, what they have paid, and when the next payment is due.

  5. Money in numbers

    Amounts in US dollars with Western digits; Lebanese pounds may appear alongside.
