Foliage. Greenery. Freshness.

01 / The brief

A contemporary
flower salon.

The owner’s brief described fresh flowers, contemporary bouquets and honest service. The name needed to belong to that world.

The original presentation records Listva as a simple name associated with greenery and freshness, easy to read and write in both Cyrillic and Latin.

How the name emerged

Brief. Explore. Refine.

Understand the salon.

The naming brief brought together the offer, competitors, audience, buying decisions and marketing goals. Fresh flowers and a contemporary approach to floristry supplied the project’s starting point.

02 / Generate and review

Make room for alternatives.

The first working week produced an initial round of names. Feedback shaped a further iteration, in which Listva emerged as the leading choice.

03 / Connect meaning and form

Let the name guide the drawing.

The visual search began alongside naming. The chosen word led naturally to foliage, botanical connections and the Cyrillic initial Л.
