Foundation

Before we draw the logo — we know who we are

Four pillars that steer every design and editorial decision at GINI.

01Mission

We close the gap between Iraqi shoppers and the world's best brands.

We build the digital + logistics infrastructure that makes access to genuine products an everyday, effortless experience — with warranty, after-sales service, and a fair price.

02Vision

To become the default digital storefront for Iraq.

A platform every shopper trusts, every merchant relies on, and every brand recognises as the shortest path into the Iraqi market.

03Positioning

The Iraqi gateway to global brands.

Not a generic marketplace, not a single store. We're the curated bridge — a considered assortment, a unified experience, and a local team behind every order.

04Promise

Authentic and local, with no compromise.

Every product authentic. Every service in Arabic. Every promise backed by a warranty. That's the floor, not the ceiling, of what the GINI name means.

We are / We are not

  • Close to the Iraqi shopper
  • Clear about our promises
  • Accountable after the sale
  • Mature in our design
  • An open, unvetted marketplace
  • Loud in our messaging
  • Absent after checkout
  • A copy of anyone else

Anatomy

Logo construction & measurements

The numbers that keep the mark legible and consistent wherever it appears.

1×GSafe area

The grid above visualises the minimum clear space around the mark: the dashed safe area must remain at least one G-height on every side.

  • Clear space
    = 1× G

    Maintain a clear space equal to the G-height on every side.

  • Min. digital size
    24 px

    Smallest on-screen width where the wordmark stays legible.

  • Min. print size
    16 mm

    Any printed medium: cards, envelopes, signage.

  • Aspect ratio
    ≈ 3.1 : 1

    Don't alter the ratio — no stretching or squashing.

Rules

How to use the logo — and how not to

Two short lists keep the mark sharp: what to always do, and what to never do.

Do

  • Keep a clear space around the mark equal to the height of the G at minimum.
  • Don't render the logo narrower than 24px on screen or 16mm in print.
  • Only use the original orange or the white knocked-out version.
  • On any orange surface — or any tint of it — use only the white version of the logo.
  • Verify background contrast before exporting — check the accessibility table.

Don't

  • Don't rotate or change the orientation of the logo.
  • Never place the black or full-colour logo on an orange surface.
  • Don't replace the colours with anything outside the official palette.
  • Don't stretch or squash the logo — preserve its native proportions.
  • Don't add strokes, shadows, or any effects around the logo.

Voice & tone

How we speak to our audience

Four traits guide every sentence we write — from ads to customer service replies.

01

Warm

We speak in plain language — close to our customers, true to the local culture.

02

Confident

We make promises we keep, and are honest about what we do and don't know.

03

Sharp

Short sentences, clear ideas. Every word earns its place.

04

Optimistic

We see the opportunity before the obstacle, and build tools that unlock the next step.

We say / We don't

  • We say

    Shop the best brands. Warrantied, at a fair price.

    We don't

    The leading platform delivering an unparalleled shopping experience.

    Why: State the action, not the claim. Specific phrasing beats generic superlatives.

  • We say

    We couldn't complete the payment. Try another card or contact us.

    We don't

    An error occurred while processing your request. Please try again later.

    Why: Explain what happened, then offer the next step. Never leave the customer in limbo.
