Parastoo means "swallow" in Farsi -- a fitting image for a travel agency, repeated visually by the three birds on the board. Note that the telephone numbers are different: a quick way to decide what language to speak when answering the phone. The calligraphic script takes some liberties with keeping parts together for the sake of beauty, but is still legible.
