Vision & approach
The vision for Layla Dough was rooted in family, culture, and the little bit of magic found in every
cookie. At the heart of the identity is a playful meeting of Latin and Arabic lettering, reflecting
the family’s multicultural background and creating a visual language that feels both personal and
unexpected.
The logo brings together three meaningful elements: Layla, the founder; Ayla, her daughter; and (li) (ل), the Arabic word for (for). The Y in the logo is also designed
to double as the Arabic letter (ي) (ya), creating a subtle connection between the Latin and Arabic forms.
Together, they form - Layla - Ayla - and “li Ayla” — “for Ayla”, turning the mark into a
small expression of love and lineage, woven directly into the identity.
The identity comes to life
through a warm, ingredient-inspired colour palette, expressive lettering, and playful details that
capture the charm of something handmade.
