INTRODUCTION Eating paan is an authentic Indian experience. The experience is the primary objective of the brand. It is hence that Vida is not only embodied in its shop. It goes beyond, to create an experience for the connoisseurs of this traditional Indian practice, of eating and enjoying paan. Out of the many things that are quintessentially Indian, paan, more than flavour and taste is an interaction between the maker and the taster, it is an art that is appreciated not only by tasting it, but by being able to choose from it’s variety and styles, that come from different parts of the country. The paan is a royal experience that pampers the connoisseur. A brand that not only sells paan, but also builds an experience and an interaction around it, is instrumental in retaining the uniqueness of this practice. An ideal confluence of a cultural tradition and a contemparary

LOGO DESIGN The tradition of making and eating paan is a practice of pride and enjoyment and at the same time, one that encompasses a very artisitic way of making paan. The logo juxtaposes the forms of a betel leaf and a moustache, to symbolize these values. Further, the form of the leaf resembles a red tongue that a tasty paan leaves you with.

C. LOGO DESIGN The primary logo (preferred) is the strongest mark that that represents the identity of the brand. The logo is designed for the symbol and wordmark to juxtapose and form the logo. However, it is possible to use the logo in its secondary form, for a stamp, badge etc. The tertiary logo, comprises of only the wordmark.
