Zarifa's Touch of Egypt opened in 2005 offering Egyptian decor, belly dance costume, and belly dance instruction to the small community of Grants Pass, Oregon. Shortly thereafter, CreateSource developed her e-commerce web site. Part of the design of this site involved a strong logo that would endure company growth and could be used on company stationery and signs.

Zarifa wanted a logo that reflected the store's emphasis in ancient Egyptian culture, belly dance, and metaphysical topics. The logos you see here are the result of several revisions attaining that goal. The black and white version is often displayed without the gray tones shown here in extremely small B/W implementations.

Early in 2006, Zarifa applied for a trademark on this logo, accompanied with the words "Zarifa's Touch of Egypt." In March of 2007, this logo was officially registered and assigned registration number 3,215,369.
