Decision

Our agency offered a complete solution for creating a brand that reflects the unique atmosphere and style of the establishment. Having included a range of services, we focused on developing a complete branded package that will become the face of the brand and help it stand out in the market.
Naming convention "Horoshi Sushi "(read as-Sushi is good). A Russian phrase with a Japanese sound. Clearly emphasizes that sushi is really good. The name itself is a source of imagination for marketers and creatives. It makes it possible to come up with interesting advertising campaigns and play with the consumer, attract them, interest them and be remembered.
Tagline "Horoshi Sushi-good life!" tells us that delicious and high-quality sushi (and other Japanese cuisine prepared with the soul and according to all the rules) directly affects the improvement of our lives. Good food lifts our spirits, a well-fed person is a kind person.
Logo It is a simple sign, but it contains a lot of symbolism. First of all, looking at the logo, you can see a stylized hieroglyph, which was obtained due to the combination of some letters present in the name "Horoshi Sushi". In addition, if you look at the elements of the logo separately, the dot (circle) in the upper-left corner of the logo can symbolize the sun of Japan, and the grid made of straight lines is associated with the traditional design of Japanese doors in the Shoji style, which tells us about the hospitality and goodwill of the brand.
Corporate identity It combines three colors that are included in the palette of the main traditional colors of Japan, namely-red, black and white.
- Red color, or "aka", is very popular in Japan and has an ancient meaning. Since time immemorial, it has been believed that red deters the forces of evil and symbolizes peace, justice and prosperity.
- Black Colorkuro, or "kuro", is a masculine color in Japan. In the past, this color belonged to the samurai class, but now it is used for special occasions and symbolizes enlightenment.
- White color, or "shiro", is considered the sacred color of the gods. It symbolizes spiritual and physical purity.
As branded elements corporate style uses all the same shapes that are present in the brand's logo: circles and straight lines.
Tone of Voice:
Horoshi Sushi he will use a restrained but warm and friendly tone that is both wise and humorous, combining light wordplay with respectful treatment of customers. In communication, the brand will emphasize the Japanese heritage and high standards of service, creating a trusting and inviting atmosphere.
Brand phrases and quotes they enliven the brand, reflect its character, philosophy, and connect with the consumer. So, for example, for the poster of a sushi bar, the following conclusion was invented::
- "Japanese chopsticks are like two parallel lines that form the road leading to a well-fed life."
