Logo Design in Dubai for Your New UAE Company

A good logo is simple enough to recognise at a glance, even when it is printed very small on a stamp or shown as a round profile picture on WhatsApp. Too many details, thin lines or long taglines tend to disappear at small sizes.

It should also suit your activity. A trading company, a consultancy and a beauty salon need different feelings: solid and reliable, calm and professional, or warm and stylish. Colour, font and shape all send signals before anyone reads your name.

Finally, it should last. Trends change fast, and a logo built only around this year's style can look dated quickly. We aim for a design you can keep for years and adjust lightly, rather than replace.

Vector files (such as SVG, EPS or PDF) are the master versions. They can be scaled to any size without losing quality, so give these to printers, sign makers, embroidery shops and the company that makes your stamp.

PNG files with a transparent background are best for websites, presentations and documents, because they sit cleanly on any colour. JPG files are useful for quick sharing where transparency is not needed. We also provide square versions sized for social media profile pictures.

You will get colour codes for screen (RGB and HEX) and for print (CMYK). Keeping these codes in one place means your website, business cards and signage all show the same colour. Final files come as PNG (transparent background), JPG, SVG and PDF.

Once your company is licensed, the logo usually goes on your letterhead, invoices and quotations, email signature, business cards, website and social media accounts. Many companies also add it to their company stamp, which is commonly used on contracts, invoices and some forms in the UAE.

Stamps are usually small and single-colour, so we make sure a one-colour version of your logo stays clear at stamp size. If you are ordering a stamp from us too, the files go straight to that team. On invoices and letterhead, make sure the company name next to the logo matches your trade licence exactly; a stylised logo does not replace your legal name.

For signage outside a shop or office, local authorities may have their own approval rules, including requirements for Arabic text. Check with your licensing authority or landlord before you produce a sign.

Arabic is written right to left and its letter shapes have a different rhythm and height from Latin letters. Simply typing the Arabic name in a standard font next to the English one often looks unbalanced. We choose or adapt Arabic lettering so both scripts feel like one family.

We also check the Arabic spelling with you. Company names are often transliterated, and the Arabic form on your licence may not be the one you expect. Using the exact licensed Arabic name avoids confusion on signs and documents.

Some companies want a single bilingual lockup; others want separate English-only and Arabic-only versions for different uses. We can discuss which suits you during the brief.

A trade licence registers your company name; it does not register your logo as a trademark. In the UAE, trademarks are registered with the federal Ministry of Economy and Tourism (previously called the Ministry of Economy) through its online services. Applications are filed by the owner or through a licensed trademark agent, and the ministry offers a database search to check for existing similar marks. Applications are filed by class of goods or services, the application is reviewed and published, and the ministry sets the official fees.

This page is general information, not legal advice, and the rules and fees can change, so confirm the latest process on the ministry's website or with a licensed trademark agent before you file. Our logo service covers design only; it does not include a trademark search, filing or any assurance that a mark can be registered. Designing an original logo, rather than adapting someone else's, is the best starting point if you plan to register it later.
