Dubai is a crowded market. Customers compare you with ten other businesses before they ever call, and most of that judgement happens in seconds, based on how you look online. That is what branding is for.
A brand is more than a logo
Your brand is the overall impression people have of your business. The logo is one part of it. The other parts are your colours, typography, photography style, tone of voice and how consistently you use them.
What you need on day one
- A clear logo that works small (as a profile picture) and large (on a shop sign), in colour and in one colour.
- A colour palette of two or three main colours and a few supporting ones.
- Fonts for headings and body text, including an Arabic font if you communicate in Arabic.
- Simple brand guidelines: a short document showing how to use all of the above, so your team, printers and freelancers get it right every time.
- Social media templates so your posts look consistent without designing from scratch every time.
What can wait
Full brand books, merchandise, packaging systems and brand videos are valuable, but they can come later once the business is growing.
Signs your brand needs a refresh
- Your logo looks blurry or outdated next to competitors
- Every post and flyer looks different
- Customers mix you up with someone else
- You've grown, but your brand still looks like day one
