he Russian fast food chain that was formerly McDonald’s in the country has revealed its new logo as it prepares to reopen its restaurants from Sunday.
The new branding features a circle and two lines, which are said to represent a burger and two French fries.
The company has not yet revealed the name of the chain, although a number of options have reportedly been considered.
In May, McDonald’s said it would pull out of Russia over the Ukraine war.
It comes as the Russian chain is scheduled to reopen 15 restaurants this weekend, according to Russian state-owned news agency TASS, which cited Sistema PBO, the firm that manages the business previously owned by McDonald’s.
The names reportedly under consideration include “Tot Samyi”, which translates to “the same one” and “Svobodnaya Kassa” which means “available cash register”.
McDonald’s temporarily halted its business in Russia in March, less than two weeks after the country invaded Ukraine.
Last month, it announced that it would leave Russia because of the “humanitarian crisis” and “unpredictable operating environment” caused by the war
