FAQs
QUESTIONS ABOUT BRANDING IN THE UAE.
How do you build a brand that works across all UAE emirates?
+
We develop flexible brand systems with core identity elements (logo, colours, typography) that remain consistent, plus guidelines for adapting tone, imagery, and messaging to each emirate's audience and context.
Should my brand be in English, Arabic, or both?
+
For maximum UAE reach, we recommend bilingual branding. We design brand systems that work in both languages with proper Arabic typography — not just translated versions of English logos.
Can you handle a rebrand for a company with multiple UAE locations?
+
Yes. We manage multi-location rebrands with phased rollout plans, ensuring all physical signage, digital assets, and marketing materials are updated consistently across every location.
