About the Winning Design: Aila Restaurant
Agency President, Beau Higgins explains, "When Wordsmith Advertising / AMIN Turkey took on the challenge of naming and creating a visual identity for Aila, Fairmont Quasar Istanbul's high-end specialty restaurant, the creative team knew the identity had to capture the spirit of this traditional Turkish mezze restaurant and its "ocakbaşı" grill in a sophisticated contemporary setting, in a strikingly memorable design. Evoking a deco influence, our assignment included the naming of the venue along with logo design as well as design and production of all collateral materials, including dining, wine, bar and lunch menus." In addition to being recognized with a statuette and certificate, WordSmith's work will also be featured online and published in the A'Design Awards annual.

From Fairmont Quasar's point of view, the design and the collateral produced by Wordsmith has directly contributed to the business success of Aila Restaurant. General Manager, Kai Winkler, says, "The visual identity of our stand-alone specialty restaurant AILA has been created with great success. Most hotel restaurants are focusing on hotel guests only and not recognized locally. Starting from the selection of its chef, Aila has been aiming to position as a free-standing restaurant serving locals, and its visual identity has been designed accordingly. Today, after a year of operation, we are proud on the successful implementation and achieving our goal. The contribution of the well-thought out identity and understanding of the concept we all had in mind by Wordsmith is beyond praise."

Wordsmith's craftsmanship was key to defining the restaurant's personality and positioning as Esin Sungur, Director of Marketing and Communication explains: "Working with Wordsmith on the visual identity of our Turkish specialty restaurant has brought us a great result in terms of the end product which is an essential part of our guest journey. The design of the Aila logo and the complementing collaterals of the restaurant from menus to napkins, are telling our guests that they are in a traditional Turkish restaurant with an elevated twist. The visual identity; the selected colors, the typography, the materials used all serve the overall concept of and at the end; contribute to the brand positioning we have foreseen for Aila."
