Offering a similar menu to Damas, our strategy workshops with the Damas team brought insights into Folfol’s future brand character: creative, visually impactful, laid back yet confident - while staying true to their Syrian heritage and inspiration.

We focused on creating this clear differentiation in the brand identity through an expressive color scheme inspired by Syria’s cultural aesthetic, whimsical typography and a set of enriching symbols derived through traditional tilework. 

Although Folfol’s aesthetic codes are quite different to Damas, the co-branding was an important element of the process - as there was an express emphasis that the audience should understand the new concept was being brought to fruition by the same award-winning team at Damas. We integrated the Damas logo into a variety of lockups to ensure visibility at different customer touchpoints - utilizing the brand equity and loyalty the parent brand has garnered in over a decade of business.
