OLAH: An Arabian-Style Café in Dubai

OLAH, an Arabian-style café in Dubai, embodies minimalism, elegance, and luxury. My task was to craft a cohesive brand identity that reflected the café’s essence while appealing to a sophisticated clientele. Through strategic design and cultural sensitivity, I delivered a brand system that harmonized tradition and modernity.

Brand Logos

Primary, Secondary & Symbolic Variations

The OLAH logo suite showcases versatility. The primary logo reflects the café’s luxurious essence with refined Arabic and English typography. The secondary logo adapts seamlessly across touchpoints, while the symbolic logo, a monogram-style emblem, is designed for compact usage like packaging and social media.

Typography

English & Arabic Typography

The typographic choices blend elegance and legibility, maintaining harmony between English and Arabic scripts. I chose the 29LT Basset typeface, which is compatible with English and Arabic.

Brand Colors

A Palette of Elegance and Warmth

The color palette was crafted to convey luxury and cultural richness.

Patterns & Brand Elements

Cultural Inspiration in Every Detail

The brand patterns feature intricate geometric designs inspired by traditional Arabian motifs. These patterns reinforce OLAH’s cultural identity while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

Packaging & Bags

Sophisticated Yet Functional

Every packaging element, from coffee cups to takeaway bags, integrates the brand’s luxurious colors, typography, and patterns. These designs ensure an elegant experience that resonates with OLAH’s clientele.

Conclusion

OLAH’s branding strikes the perfect balance between tradition and modernity. Through a carefully considered logo system, rich color palette, elegant typography, and thoughtful applications, the brand captures the essence of Arabian luxury.
