“How much does a logo cost?” is the first question most people ask us, and the honest answer is: it depends on what you need the logo to do. A logo for a home bakery and a logo for a group of companies are very different projects.
This guide explains the typical logo design cost in Dubai in 2026, what changes the price and how to get good value at any budget. The figures below are broad market ranges to help you plan, not fixed prices, and every designer and agency quotes differently.
Typical price ranges in Dubai
| Option | Typical range (AED) | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Online marketplaces and logo makers | 100 to 1,500 | Quick concepts, often based on templates, limited research |
| Experienced freelance designer | 1,500 to 6,000 | Original logo, a few concepts, basic files |
| Design studio or branding agency (logo only) | 4,000 to 12,000 | Research, several directions, refinement, full file set |
| Branding agency (full brand identity) | 10,000 to 35,000+ | Logo, colours, fonts, guidelines, stationery and templates |
| Large agency for corporate rebrands | 50,000+ | Strategy, naming, research, rollout across many touchpoints |
What affects the price of a logo
Research and strategy
A cheap logo usually skips research. A professional designer looks at your market, your competitors and your customers first, so the logo stands out for the right reasons. This thinking time is where much of the value is.
Number of concepts and revisions
Some quotes include one concept and two small changes. Others include three or four distinct directions and several rounds of refinement. Check exactly what is included before you compare prices.
Arabic and English versions
In the UAE, many businesses need a bilingual logo. Designing a properly balanced Arabic version, rather than simply typing the name in an Arabic font, takes extra skill and time, and it should be reflected in the quote.
Files and usage
You should receive your logo in every format you will need: vector files for print and signage, PNG and SVG files for digital use, colour, black and white versions, and ideally a simple guide on how to use it. Cheaper options sometimes only provide a JPG.
Brand identity beyond the logo
A logo is one part of a brand. If you also need colours, fonts, business cards, social media templates and brand guidelines, you are buying a brand identity, which naturally costs more but saves you money later because everything is consistent from day one.
Is a cheap logo ever a good idea?
Sometimes. If you are testing an idea, running a very small side business or need something temporary, a low-cost logo can be fine. The risks are that it looks similar to other businesses, cannot be trademarked or does not work well on signage and packaging. Many of our rebranding clients started with a quick, cheap logo and outgrew it within two years.
How to get good value at any budget
- Write a clear brief. Explain your business, customers, competitors and where the logo will be used.
- Ask what is included. Concepts, revisions, Arabic version, file types and ownership of the final design.
- Look at real work. Check the designer’s portfolio for logos in use, not just on a white background.
- Think about the next two years. If you will need packaging, signage or a website soon, it can be cheaper to plan a small brand identity now.
