The goal of the rebranding of AZHDKh into Astana Railways with the ASTRA brand is to preserve and increase the company’s success, improve its perception and increase its recognition as a private locomotive traction operator providing services for supplying and cleaning wagons to the railway sidings of the city of Astana and the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The brand was developed by the National Branding Agency Kazakhstanika, which was tasked with offering a unique industry name, a concise, modern visual symbolism that would be understandable to consumers of services in the field of rail freight and representatives of the professional community, and would organically fit into the trends of sustainable business development. To build the logo, English was chosen as the language of international business communication. In terms of visualization, the logo is made up of two blocks: a graphic block representing the abbreviation ASTRA (ASTana RAilways), and a text block descripting the full name.
