Abou Rony: a contemporary Arabic identity carrying the warmth of Beirut

Abou Rony is a Lebanese restaurant in Dubai built around generous food, familiar flavours, and the emotional character of Beirut. I created a distinctive Arabic-led identity that brings this spirit into a clear, contemporary restaurant brand.

The custom wordmark balances the movement of modern Arabic calligraphy with a practical bilingual signature—giving the restaurant an identity that feels warm, memorable, and ready for everyday hospitality.

01 · The brief

Translating Beirut’s warmth into a restaurant signature

The identity needed to express more than a place to eat. Abou Rony presents Lebanese food through the warmth, emotion, and sociability associated with Beirut—from the menu and service to the atmosphere of the space.

The design challenge was to capture that personality without relying on ornamental clichés. The logo had to feel culturally rooted, visually confident, and versatile enough to work across signage, menus, packaging, and digital communication.

02 · Lettering concept

A custom Arabic wordmark with a contemporary rhythm

The Arabic name is the heart of the identity. Its connected forms create an approachable, handcrafted rhythm while the controlled geometry keeps the mark legible and contemporary.

The Latin name supports the Arabic wordmark rather than competing with it, creating a bilingual hierarchy suitable for Dubai’s multilingual audience.

Arabic rhythm

Fluid letter relationships give the name warmth and a recognisable visual voice.

Bilingual hierarchy

The Arabic expression leads, while the Latin signature adds clarity and international usability.

Practical construction

Proportion and alignment were refined for consistent reproduction at different sizes.

03 · Colour system

A palette inspired by food, nature, and Lebanese hospitality

The combination of deep green, warm khaki, cream, and black gives the identity both freshness and maturity. The system supports flexible applications while preserving strong contrast and brand recognition.

04 · Restaurant applications

Extending the identity into the customer experience

The visual language moves naturally from the main logo into takeaway packaging. Simple, confident placement allows the lettering and colour palette to remain recognisable in busy everyday restaurant settings.

Takeaway cup

A compact application that keeps the Arabic wordmark clear and distinctive.

Restaurant packaging

The kraft bag introduces the brand into delivery and takeaway moments with a warm, tactile character.

05 · The outcome

A memorable Arabic-led identity built for a living restaurant brand

The final system gives Abou Rony a clear visual presence rooted in Lebanese character without feeling nostalgic or overly decorative. Its custom lettering carries the personality of the restaurant, while the supporting typography and palette make the identity practical across physical and digital use.

The approved identity was implemented and launched as part of the restaurant’s customer-facing experience in Dubai.
