CHALLENGE
We concluded that in addition to the revamped website Noon-O-Kabab needs a new identity and full rebranding. We knew that by empowering Noon-O-Kabab’s website with e-commerce capabilities the restaurant could add an edge to its new online presence. Our vision was that Noon-O-Kabab has the potential to exploit Chicago’s appetite for food diversity. We envisioned that our intervention would turn Noon-O-Kabab into an attractive, highly visible ethnic restaurant expanding its reach as a fine dining destination but also as a user friendly online food ordering source.
SOLUTION
We decided that Noon-O-Kabab would stand out not only as a generic Middle Eastern but more specifically as a traditional Persian restaurant. The concept of the logo was based on typically Persian ogive shaped decorative motifs combined with the Universal perception of sun/warmth (radiant yellow on black background), and perfection (circle/symmetry). Our branding concept was to embrace the rather well established Noon-O-Kabab name that already had an embedded sense of symmetry around the middle O letter. We added to the classic and balanced Persian symbolism a contemporary, westernized, clean design.
Based on our approach behind this logo concept we then redesigned all menus and printed materials to reflect this new brand image. We even came up with a new slogan: “Food with Persianality “– a playfully twist of words that combined “personality” with Persian, emphasizing both individuality and tradition.

The website has a heavy Persian heritage imprint. Most backgrounds are inspired by the iconic Persepolis bas-reliefs. The same imagery and color theme was applied to all collateral, window decals, and the awning.
