Logo and branding design in the UAE: what it costs

Updated 4 November 2026

A logo for a business in the UAE usually costs from AED 500 to AED 1,000 from a professional designer, with two to four concepts and the same number of revisions. Freelance offers online start at AED 50, while a full branding package from an agency starts at about AED 3,500. The quickest way to see current prices is a free request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and trademark costs

Two local checks come up in the search results. First, a designer who works as a business may need a graphic design licence in the UAE, which is a separate licence with its own costs and renewal, so ask whether they hold one. Second, registering a logo as a trademark is a separate step: published guides put a UAE application at AED 750 to 1,000 in government fees, plus AED 1,500 to 4,000 for an agent.

Season and climate

The price of a logo does not depend on the weather, but the calendar does. The mild months from November to March leave time for concepts, revisions and approval before the summer. For signs and vehicle wraps, the desert heat from May to September is very strong in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain, so ask the printer which materials suit hot sun.

How design work is bought here

Designers quote in AED per package, per hour or per project. Files are sent digitally, so a designer in Dubai can work with a client in Al Ain or Ajman. Ask for vector files (AI, SVG or EPS) for print and PNG for screens, and state the sign or card sizes in centimetres or millimetres.

What to write in your request

Say what you need: a logo only, or also business cards, signage or social media templates. Describe your business field, the styles you like and any references. State how many concepts and revisions you expect, who will own the files and the rights, your deadline and your budget in AED. Examples of past work help a designer understand your taste.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the project in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo. The AI asks for missing details and looks through designers' websites and price lists in the UAE, then shows the prices and studios it found. Designers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive your request and reply in the chat with their own price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
