LaBaguette
The La Baguette chain of sixteen outlets was established in Kuwait in 1983. It was the first chain of its kind in Kuwait and was a huge success.
As the years went by, many of the founders and/or key members of La Baguette departed to start their own operations, which competed directly with the La Baguette brand.
As a result, the brand suffered in both quality and product design, which led to financial loss and the recent sale of the company to a group of entrepreneurs – the client of Paragon International.
The new owners have invested heavily in developing a superior range of improved products intended for the local market.
Still, they wanted to maintain the La Baguette name since the La Baguette brand enjoys a high level of brand awareness and recognition despite the negative connotations of the past few years.
The owners agreed upon a solution that was simple in theory “ keep the name, change everything else” – in order to communicate the positive change.
In reality, this was not an easy task, as Paragon had to develop a totally new and different visual identity.
The designers first created a modern logo that clearly differentiates today's La Baguette from the previous logo and those of competitors.
