Designing a logo is different than making a rosette. They're not the same rules that governs the two designs. Making a rosette of Arabic calligraphy
is perhaps the most complicated job for a calligrapher.
Even more than designing a fingerboard's calligraphy !
Yes, there is such a thing 
I might help, so please contact me via e-mail telling me what do you have in mind.
Yours indeed
