Ankara service area
In Ankara, work usually begins inside the frame of a specification document or an official letter. In a city dense with public institutions, professional chambers, associations and foundations, corporate identity has to be presented correctly before anything else.
What sets Ankara’s working fabric apart from the other centres is the concentration of public institutions, professional chambers, associations and foundations in the city. Any work carried out with these bodies is shaped by the formality that comes with official correspondence and tender culture: technical documents matching a specification, a presentation file that stays faithful to institutional identity, a letterhead where the signature and stamp fields sit exactly where expected. Here the first test for design is conformity before originality.
The city’s other pillar is formed by the defence industry and technology companies clustered around hubs such as OSTİM and ODTÜ Technopark, alongside a wide university community. The counterpart here is usually a technical team or a procurement unit; what is wanted is not marketing language but information that can be verified and archived. The test corporate identity faces in this setting is not creativity but continuity: a logo, colour set and document that still look as if they came from the same source years later.

Frequently asked
Do you have an office in Ankara, and how do you actually work?
We do not keep a separate office in Ankara; the team works out of Nicosia. Design, corporate identity and web work run entirely remotely — briefing, approval and revision rounds move through a shared file and video calls. For work that requires physical printing, production is planned separately around quantity and delivery location.
What do you watch for in tender or specification files?
The format, file size and page layout a specification demands come before our own design preferences; the technical document is fitted to the institution’s template first, and aesthetic choices are made within that template. Before delivery our check focuses on whether the file matches the specification to the letter.
How does corporate identity work for associations, foundations or professional chambers?
In these organisations identity tends to drift as the board changes; each new term the logo gets used a little differently and the colour tone shifts. Our priority is tying the identity to a guide rather than a person: we prepare a brand guideline so the same file produces the same result no matter who is in office.
What kind of work do you produce for technology park and defence industry companies?
The most requested items in this segment are corporate profile documents, technical catalogues and business cards; the content carries technical accuracy rather than marketing language. Because the document is usually part of a technical evaluation process, structure and consistency matter more than visual impact.
