The basis of the design was the name of the trading house "Doоlot". "Doоlot" - Kyrgyz word which means wealth, happiness, and grace. The basis of this design-a stylized capital Cyrillic letter "D", which depicts the crown, which symbolizes superiority and throne – a symbol of power. The color scheme of the logo is gold because it corresponds to the general concept of the brand. The logo conveys power, progressiveness, versatility, and resourcefulness.

I know Mr. Timur Sharapiev since 2008 when he joined the newspaper “De-facto” as a designer. He was only 19 years old at that time and was full of energy having strong desire to learn new skills. As a Chief Editor of that newspaper, I hired him for two months as an intern to see if he can be able to become a full team member. However, only in one month I understood that he has a full capacity and commitment to work being a creative and professional designer. Despite his young age, he proved full integrity and responsibility in dealing with tasks. In six months, he became one of the main designers of the newspaper. I had a chance to work with Timur three times: from 2008 to 2010, then from 2012 to 2014, and in 2018 for an EU funded project. In 2012, we resumed the publication of the newspaper De-facto and he was the first person whom I invited to help me. During two years, Timur proved himself as a reliable, responsible and the most creative designer I ever met. In 2018, I started working again with Timur, but this time as an Executive Director of the Bulan Institute for Peace Innovations. Timur worked with us in the framework of the project that aimed to protect children`s right to civic education which was funded by the EU small grants programme. Timur was responsible for design of brochures and the newsletter. He also produced two animated films in the framework of that project devoted to children`s rights to education. I highly recommend Timur as the most reliable, responsible and creative designer I ever met in my 23 years of experience in journalism and project management. I am ready to answer should you have any questions. Sincerely, Cholpon Orozobekova Executive Director Bulan Institute for Peace Innovations
