Graphic design & animation in Abu Dhabi & the UAE

Graphic design and branding in Abu Dhabi: logo design, brand identity, mascots and illustration, social media artwork and motion graphics, designed in-house and built to work everywhere your brand appears.

Graphic design in Abu Dhabi

Brands people recognise at a glance.

Graphic design is the first thing a customer judges and the last thing they remember. Evo Media Pro is a graphic design and branding studio in Abu Dhabi that builds identities to be used, not just admired: logos that read at the size of an app icon and the size of a shopfront, colour and lettering that hold together on a menu, a feed and a billboard, and characters people want to put on a sticker.

Every piece on this page was designed in-house by our creative team, under Monique Tresor. The same studio photographs, films and animates what it designs, so your graphic design never stops at the logo file: it arrives on your products, your packaging, your social media and your screens looking like one brand.

What every identity we design must do

  • Recognition

    Read and remembered in a second, at any size.

  • Consistency

    One system across print, screens, packaging and social.

  • Character

    A personality customers can describe in a word.

  • Ownership

    Source files and guidelines handed over, yours to keep.

Included

  • Logo design and logo suites

  • Brand identity and guidelines

  • Mascots and illustration

  • Social media and campaign design

  • Podcast and show branding

  • Motion graphics and logo animation

Logo design

Logo design with a system behind it.

A logo is rarely one file. Serious logo design delivers a family of marks: a primary logo, a badge for merchandise and stamps, a lockup for campaigns, each clearly the same brand and each drawn for where it will be used.

  • Custom lettering

    Wordmarks drawn for the brand rather than typed in a stock font, so no competitor can have the same one.

  • Badges and emblems

    Secondary marks for merchandise, packaging, stamps and social media avatars.

  • Campaign lockups

    Versions for launches and collections that extend the identity without replacing it.

  • Tested at every size

    Checked as a favicon, a profile picture, a sign and a print before it is signed off.

The work

ALAS: one attitude, three marks.

For ALAS we drew a retro brush-script wordmark with a layered drop shadow, then carried the same script into an oval badge framed by the brand's own line, “Be worthy of your suffering”, and into the Legacy Project lockup with its ace-of-spades mark. Three different jobs, one unmistakable voice: that is what logo design looks like when it is built as a system rather than as a single file.

Brand identity

A brand identity that works on everything it touches.

Brand identity design goes beyond the logo: the colours, the lettering, the illustration style and the attitude that let customers recognise you before they read your name. We design the whole kit, ready for clothing, packaging, signage and social media.

  • Colour and typography

    A palette and type system chosen for character, and for legibility on screen and in print.

  • Illustration style

    Artwork that carries the brand's personality onto merchandise and campaigns.

  • Ready for production

    Files prepared for screen printing, embroidery, stickers and signage, not only for screens.

  • Brand guidelines

    A clear guide to how the identity is used, so every future piece stays on brand.

The work

Raw City: a lifestyle brand with a point of view.

Raw City's line is “Blithe goods for everyone”, and the identity says it before anyone reads a word: a navy and orange circular badge with palm trees and a character peering over the horizon, a sports-style wordmark with a lightning-bolt underline, and a beach illustration of a skeleton in a floral shirt beside a surfboard. Three pieces, three moods, and still unmistakably one relaxed, confident brand: the job graphic design is there to do.

Mascots and illustration

Characters customers remember and share.

Character design is the part of graphic design that does work a logo cannot: it gives a brand a face, a mood and something people want to photograph. We design characters and illustrations that work as a logo, a sticker, a menu, packaging and an animation.

  • Mascot design

    Characters with a clear personality, drawn to stay recognisable in one colour and at small sizes.

  • Stickers and packaging

    Die-cut shapes, labels and packaging artwork built from the same character.

  • Patterns and props

    Background patterns and supporting icons that let the brand fill a wall, a box or a feed.

  • Ready to animate

    Drawn in layers, so the character can move in social media posts and ads.

The work

Ground & Pound: a burger with biceps.

Ground & Pound is a high-protein grill, so its graphic design had to speak to the gym and the grill at once. We designed a flexing burger-bun mascot in a sweatband and sunglasses for the main logo, set on a pattern of burgers and kettlebells, and a second character, a gym-goer lounging on a giant burger, for the hamburger stand badge, shown here as a die-cut sticker. Strong, playful and hard to mistake for any other burger brand.

Social media design

Social media design that stops the scroll.

On a feed you have a fraction of a second. Our social media design puts the brand, the product and the appetite in front of people instantly, with artwork built for each platform rather than stretched to fit it.

  • Posters and promotions

    Launches, offers and events designed to be read in a glance.

  • Product as the hero

    Photography and graphic design combined so the product leads every post.

  • Templates your team can use

    Editable layouts for menus, offers and announcements that keep every post on brand.

  • Sized for every placement

    Feed, story, reel cover and ad formats, each designed for its own frame.

The work

El Compadre: barbecue you can almost taste.

For El Compadre we paired a bold red and yellow identity with the food itself: a portrait poster that frames the stall at night between mirrored plates of glazed wings and rice, and a landscape visual that sets the script wordmark over a spread of sticky, sesame-topped wings with limes, bunting and tropical leaves. Graphic design built to make people hungry first, and then to make them visit.

Podcast and show branding

Branding for podcasts, shows and channels.

A show competes on a thumbnail, so its graphic design has to be bold enough to read on a phone screen and distinctive enough to find again next week.

  • Show logos

    Titles designed as logos, legible at thumbnail size and strong printed large.

  • Cover art and thumbnails

    Consistent artwork for every episode and every platform.

  • Titles and openers

    Animated openers and lower thirds made from the same design.

  • Set and backdrop

    Artwork for the set when the show is filmed in our own studio.

The work

The Twincast: bold enough for a thumbnail.

The Twincast's logo stacks the show's name in heavy gold and cream lettering with a cream outline on dark navy. It reads instantly as a small square in a podcast app or a social feed, and holds up just as well printed large: graphic design that works at both ends of the scale.

Motion graphics and animation

Designs that move.

Motion is where a brand comes alive on social media, in ads and on screens. Because the same team handles the graphic design and the animation, nothing is redrawn and nothing drifts off brand.

  • Logo animation

    Short animated reveals for videos, reels and presentations.

  • Animated social posts

    Motion versions of posts and ads, built to hold attention in a moving feed.

  • Titles and lower thirds

    On-screen graphics for video filmed in our studio or on location.

  • New life for old footage

    Animated cuts of footage you already have, finished with your brand.

Design, photography and video

Designed, shot and animated under one roof.

Most graphic design stops at the logo file. Evo Media Pro has its own photo and video studio in Abu Dhabi, so the identity we design can be photographed on your products, filmed for your launch and animated for your ads by the same creative team. Your brand arrives everywhere looking like one brand.

Questions

Graphic design, answered.

What does a graphic design agency do?

It turns what a business stands for into things people can see: a logo, a brand identity, packaging, social media artwork, signage and motion graphics. At Evo Media Pro, graphic design is handled in-house in Abu Dhabi alongside photography, video and marketing, so the design is made to be used, not just approved.

How do I choose the best graphic design agency in Abu Dhabi?

Look at the work before the words. A strong graphic design agency shows complete identities rather than single logos, designs a system that works across print, screens and social media, hands over editable source files and guidelines, lets you brief the people who actually design, and can carry the identity into photography, video and animation. That is how Evo Media Pro works, and the work on this page is there so you can judge it.

How much does logo design cost in Abu Dhabi?

It depends on the scope: a single logo, a logo suite, or a full brand identity with guidelines, templates and animation. We quote after the brief, once the scope is clear, so you know the cost before any design work starts.

How long does a logo or brand identity take?

A logo takes less time than a full identity with guidelines, templates and motion. The proposal sets out each stage and a timeline before work starts, and you approve the direction before the design is finalised.

Do you design mascots and illustrations?

Yes. Characters, badges and illustrations, like the Ground & Pound mascot on this page, drawn to work as a logo, a sticker, packaging and an animation.

Can you animate our logo?

Yes. Logo animations, animated social media posts, titles and motion graphics are made by the same team that designs the stills, so the motion matches the brand exactly.

Do we get the editable files?

Yes. Final exports and the editable source files are handed over, along with a short guide to how the artwork is meant to be used.

Can you work with our existing brand guidelines?

Usually that is the better call. A rebuild is worth it when the current artwork cannot be made to work across the placements you need, not by default.
