The chain that will replace McDonald’s in Russia has revealed its new logo, as it prepares to reopen its restaurants from Sunday.

McDonald’s decided to leave Russia after the country invaded Ukraine.
The company that runs the business formerly owned by McDonald’s, Sistema PBO, plans to reopen 15 of the restaurants this weekend, according to the Russian state news agency TASS.
“The green background of the logo symbolizes the quality of products and service that our customers are used to,” a company spokesperson told TASS.
In social networks, some users have commented that the new logo still looks like an “M”.
Others consider that the new logo seems to be inspired by the flag of Bangladesh, which also has a dark green background and a red circle in similar tones to that of the new brand.
The company is considering eight potential names for the new chain, according to the Izvestia daily, including “Tot Samyi,” which translates to “the same,” and “Svobodnaya Kassa,” which means “available cash register.”
Neither McDonald’s nor Sistema PBO responded, for the time being, to requests for comment from the BBC.

The company also announced that Alexander Govor, who operated 25 McDonald’s restaurants in Siberia, would take over the chain’s restaurants.
Under the agreement, McDonald’s maintains its registered trademark in Russia. Although the option of repurchasing its restaurants within 15 years is reserved.
