How much does branding cost in Dubai?

Brand identity with XMA starts from AED 8,000 ex VAT. That covers the logo suite, colours, type, a short brand guide and first applications, in 3 to 4 weeks. A fuller identity costs more. Ad spend is never part of a design fee.

We price after we see what you have. A fuller identity, more applications or naming move the price. Naming is priced at AED 2,700 ex VAT. See our pricing.

What is in a brand identity package?

A brand identity package is the set of design parts that make a business recognisable. Ours has the logo suite, the colour palette, the type, and a brand guide that shows how to use them. We then apply them to the first things you need, like ads or packaging.

The guide matters most. It lets your team, a printer or a new designer use the brand the same way every time. Without it, a brand slowly drifts. The smallest job is the essentials identity. A fuller one goes deeper on the guide and applications. How a brand identity is built walks through each part.

Do I get the logo source files?

Yes. Once a period is paid, the working files and source projects are yours, with no buy-out fee. That includes the logo files we built the identity from. You also receive the brand guide, so your team, a printer or a new designer can use the logo, colours and type the same way every time.

How long does branding take?

Brand identity takes 3 to 4 weeks with XMA: logo, colours, type and brand guide. A set of five image ads takes 3 business days. The timeline holds when feedback comes back on time.

We commit to dates and counts in writing. We do not promise sales or leads from a brand, because we do not control your product, your price or your margin.

How the work runs

  1. We look at what you have. Your current logo, files and past work.
  2. We build the identity. Logo, colours, type and the guide, shown to you for approval.
  3. We apply it. Image ads, packaging, and the pages that need to carry it.

Branding vs brand identity: what is the difference?

Branding is the whole picture of how people see your business: what you say, how you look, how you treat customers. Brand identity is the visual and verbal part you control directly: logo, colours, type and tone. Identity is a piece of branding. A brand guide keeps the two lined up.

We design the identity and apply it to ads, packaging, websites and film. The rest of your branding, like service and product quality, is yours.

Do you do packaging design?

Yes, with a brand or ad job. We design artwork for boxes and labels so the pack matches the identity and the ads. We do not take packaging as a stand-alone order. That keeps the box, the logo and the campaign looking like one brand, not three.

Packaging and regulatory artwork for labels is sold as an add-on and quoted per product. See perfume brands and cosmetics brands for how this works in those categories.

Can you rebrand an existing business?

Yes. We start with what you have and keep what works, then fix the rest. A refresh can mean a cleaner logo, a tighter palette, a proper brand guide and new ads, without losing the recognition you have built. A full rebrand is a bigger job. We price a refresh after a first look at your files.

Why choose XMA as your branding company in Dubai

A weak brand costs you twice. You pay for ads that look like three different companies, and a box on the counter can look cheaper than the price printed on it. We carry the brand into the ads, the packaging and the store, so it looks the same everywhere. See website design, Shopify stores and AI video production.

If you are weighing the best branding agency in Dubai, or any top branding agency, ask each one for dates in writing. We give them. Our in-house team does the logo, the guide, the packaging artwork and the ads, so we work as a design agency and a graphic design company that also builds what the brand has to live in.

Arabic and English brands

If your customers read Arabic, the brand should too. Our Arabic production team writes in Arabic from scratch, not as a translation of the English.

After the identity

A brand is only useful when it is in front of people. Once the identity is done, we can run it through ad management on Meta and Google, with TikTok or Snapchat as an added channel, and keep it consistent in social media management. That part is optional. The identity is yours either way.

All questions

Yes. We keep what works and fix the rest. Share your current logo and files on a call and we will tell you what to keep.
