1112 BC, 14:25 – Constantinople
Mohamad Alyoussfi (who is me) enters a client’s room, a man of priestly rank… the kind who recently discovered the world of computers and possesses extensive scientific knowledge, especially in dream interpretation and strange religious sciences. The client’s name was “Sarmos,” and this story is inspired by a true story, with changes to the characters, names, and locations to reflect one of the most significant experiences and thought processes of some clients.
Based on a true story…
Mohamad enters Sarmos’s room, “the art expert.”
Mohamad: have you reviewed my work before we talk?
Client: Yes, I’ve reviewed your work.
Mohamad: Very good, then let’s talk business…
Client: My opinion is that your logos are beautiful, with a “Western European” touch, although I prefer the Eastern style!
Mohamad: Thank you, what do you mean by Eastern?
Client: Something with beautiful Arabic ornamentation, Arabesque, and the free Damascus script.
Mohamad: Every identity has its own style and appropriate work pattern – there are no rules in beauty!
Client: (Didn’t understand what was said) … so he moves on to the next sentence.
Client: I feel that some of your logos have something Masonic and intersecting; I don’t want that style!
Mohamad: Masonic!? Define Masonic in logos for me.
Client: Some logos have hidden ideas, for example, the Facebook logo = represents the Masonic cross.
Mohamad: Facebook!? The Facebook logo symbolizes the letter f, what does the cross have to do with it?
Client: Why did they choose the letter f and not another letter from the word?
Mohamad: Because it’s the first letter, simply. This is a style and approach in logo design!
Mohamad: No, even the Excel logo, the Start menu… they all have Masonic intersections.
Mohamad: This is incorrect and illogical. Does that mean everything with intersections is suspicious?
Client: Yes!
Mohamad: Intersections are everywhere… the window behind you has an intersection!
Client: Yes, the window is suspicious!! Any place with intersections is Masonic and infiltrated by the West.
Mohamad: I advise anyone who thinks this way to focus on more important and significant matters!
Client: These are important and significant matters, and we must pay attention to them. The West has invaded our minds… they’ve invaded… invaded them!
Mohamad: leaves the room, sadness etched on his face, saying to himself: They invaded because people like you are among us!!
And the ghosts of Sarmos and his words have haunted Muhammad to this day.
The End.
