As the fast-food market in Shymkent grew, Lavash Center (LC) needed to refresh its visual identity and rethink its market positioning. The need came both from business expansion and from fiercer competition in the segment.

Our task was to create a new brand platform that reflected the company’s values and philosophy and strengthened its market position. We needed a visual identity and strategy that would bring out what makes Lavash Center unique and broaden its appeal, while building trust and an emotional connection with customers.

The new Lavash Center brand platform centers on honesty and humanity, the foundation of all the brand’s communication. The slogan “Honest food since 2010” captures the company’s core principles: reliability, professionalism and attention to quality and fresh ingredients. It also expresses a philosophy of simplicity and transparency, which matters especially in fast food.

We put the brand’s honesty front and center, and it shows in every element of the new visual identity. The “First Bite” concept is about creating an instant emotional connection with guests through their first impression of the food, one that sparks pleasure and trust. It also reinforces Lavash Center as a place where you can always count on good, fresh, tasty food.

The visual identity expresses the platform’s ideas simply and clearly. The logo contains a “first bite” symbol. We used images of fresh ingredients to highlight the brand’s transparency and its attention to product quality and detail. A fisheye technique added depth and detail to the images, letting viewers see the food up close, a symbol of transparency and honesty at every stage.

We applied the same visual approach to the typography and brand illustrations, where the ingredients come to life, star in mini-stories and show the brand’s bold character. The new identity gave the company more emotion and personality, building positive associations with the food and with Lavash Center as a whole.

The emotions the images evoke reinforce the brand as a source of quality food you can trust. This has made the brand more appealing and continues to strengthen its market position, attracting new and regular customers alike.
