Confirm the exact name
Keep the owner confirmed Arabic text outside the picture. Include the intended marks and each separate language line. Use that text and the approved artwork as two references.
LogoTidy asks users to check Arabic spelling, dots and joins.

If you cannot read a part, mark it uncertain. Ask the owner or a fluent reader to confirm it. A clean outline or a larger file is not evidence that the name is correct.
Check dots and marks first
- Open the source and exported copy at matching displayed sizes.
- Find each intended dot or mark in the approved artwork.
- Record whether it is present, missing, moved or unclear in the export.
- Check near the top and bottom edges for a tight selection.
- Repeat at the size where the logo will actually appear.
| Location | Source | Export | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mark above the first affected letter | Present or unclear | Present, missing or moved | Confirm its intended location. |
| Small mark near the lower edge | Present or unclear | Present, missing or moved | Check the complete selection. |
| Inside detail that merges at small size | Separate or unclear | Separate or merged | Compare at the real use size. |
These rows describe how to make notes. They are not a report about a real Arabic word. Keep your own marked close view with the confirmed text.
Check joins without closing every gap
W3C draft Arabic layout guidance describes different joining behavior among letters. Not every neighboring pair should join.

Compare the gap with the approved shape and the confirmed word. A gap may be natural, a custom design choice or a fault. If you are unsure, do not fill it merely to make a continuous line.
Use a specific note such as this gap differs from the approved source. That is more useful than saying all letters must connect.
Find out whether lettering is text or artwork
Live SVG text uses font shaping. Outlined lettering is already shape artwork.

If live text looks different on another device, ask which font and text setup it uses. If it is custom calligraphy made of paths, do not replace it with a new font as though that is routine cleanup.
Understand outlined logo lettering
When you cannot tell what the file contains, request that information from its creator. Keep that question separate from the spelling check.
Describe the affected letter or mark
- Supply the exact confirmed text.
- Name the affected location in the image.
- Show the source and export at matching size.
- State what changed and what must stay.
- Keep uncertain details open until someone can confirm them.
After a correction, repeat the mark and join checks on the saved file. Finish when the selected artwork is complete, the expected marks are accounted for and the intended word has been confirmed. Do not describe that as a fluent review unless one actually happened.
