Your business name is the single most regulated element on your sign, because in the UAE it must match your trade licence exactly. K.A.T SIGNS designs names and logos in Sharjah that satisfy that rule, read clearly in English and Arabic, and are drawn as scalable vector so they are ready to fabricate and submit for approval. We design the mark you love and the mark an authority will clear as the same mark.
What is name and logo design for UAE signage?
Name and logo design is the creation of your business wordmark and symbol so they work as a physical sign and pass government approval. In the UAE that means the displayed name matches the trade licence, Arabic is included, and the artwork is buildable vector. It is where brand creativity meets the compliance rules that decide whether a sign is approved.
We treat the name as both a design asset and a legal one, so the logo you love is also the logo an authority will clear. That dual focus is what stops a beautiful concept from being rejected on a technicality once it reaches SEDD or the municipality.

Why must the sign name match the trade licence?
Because authorities cross-check the sign against your licence during approval. If the displayed name differs from the licensed trade name, the submission is rejected, which delays production and installation. Getting the name wording and Arabic exact at the design stage is the simplest way to avoid a rejection later.
It is also the cheapest place to get it right. Correcting a name on a drawing takes minutes, while correcting it on manufactured signage means re-cutting, re-printing and re-submitting, so we resolve every naming and licence detail before the wordmark is finalised.
We check the licence first: before we finalise any wordmark, we confirm the exact legal name and its Arabic form against your trade licence, so your logo is built on compliant text from the start.
