BAHANDI

ABOUT THE PROJECT (GOAL)
BAHANDI is a modern craft burger brand built on the philosophy of "uncompromising flavor." The primary goal of this project was to develop a bold, recognizable visual identity that resonates with a younger, streetwear-conscious demographic while maintaining a clean, appetizing aesthetic. We aimed to create a cohesive brand language across eco-friendly packaging, lifestyle merchandise, and digital touchpoints, all anchored by a signature deep green color palette.

THE CHALLENGE
The main challenge was to stand out in a highly saturated fast-casual dining market. We needed to avoid traditional fast-food visual clichés (like excessive reds and yellows) and instead position BAHANDI as a premium yet accessible lifestyle brand. This required balancing playful typography and minimalist line-art illustrations with functional packaging design, ensuring the brand looked just as striking on custom apparel and drive-thru delivery boxes as it did on social media.

THE RESULT
We delivered a comprehensive branding system featuring a custom typographical logo, playful iconography, and a distinctive green-and-cream color scheme. The deliverables included the design of sustainable takeaway packaging, engaging copy ("Treat yourself. You deserve a Bahandi"), and streetwear-inspired merchandise. This fresh, bold aesthetic successfully elevates BAHANDI from a standard burger joint to an authentic, culturally relevant food brand.
