The brief was to create a visual language that captured the warmth and personality of the culinary experience — one that would resonate with Saudi diners before the food ever reached the table. Our mandate extended beyond a logo: the brand needed to be a fully functioning system from day one.

We anchored the entire creative process in the restaurant's story — its culinary philosophy, its atmosphere, and the emotional experience it wanted to create for guests. Rather than defaulting to generic F&B aesthetics, we developed a visual identity with genuine character: warm, intentional, and built to perform across every touchpoint a diner might encounter. The system was designed to travel seamlessly from Instagram first-impressions through to in-restaurant signage and packaging.

Delivering a complete brand identity for Cucina Di Yass — from naming architecture and logo design to colour palette, typography, packaging, and in-restaurant brand materials.
