Establishing an urban escape

Our team proposed the brand story "Urban Escape" to convey the concept of an oasis amid the bustling neighbourhood of Barsha Heights. We explored various name options for the restaurant based on this brand positioning, drawing inspiration from Mediterranean languages and terminology. The name "Ostro" was selected, inspired by the warm southerly winds that drift across the Mediterranean Sea, creating an atmosphere that allows diners to escape city life's hustle and bustle. Our creative team designed a brandmark to complement the name, inspired by footprints in the Mediterranean sand, whisked away by the winds, leaving a lasting impression. The circle in the brandmark represents the path to the Mediterranean oasis. The Look and Feel system of the brand was crafted to establish a clean and simple environment with elements of surprise. It utilised light tones in touchpoints and subtly applied the brand identity. Consequently, the brand left a strong and lasting impression on the intended audience and distinguished itself as a leading dining destination in the competitive Food & Beverage industry.
