Manara Media
Founding Client Program

We're designing 15 brand identities free of charge.

Manara Media is a new studio in Sharjah with a portfolio of concept work and a simple goal: build a body of real client work we're proud of. So we're giving fifteen UAE businesses a complete brand identity — free — in exchange for permission to feature the result publicly.

No catch, no payment details, no obligation to buy anything afterwards. You get a brand. We get work worth showing.

What you get

  • A complete logo and brand identity, designed from scratch
  • Primary, stacked and icon-only logo variations
  • Colour palette and typography system
  • All source files (AI, EPS, SVG) plus PNG and JPG
  • Favicon and app-icon sizes for digital use
  • Full commercial ownership — the brand is yours, permanently

The same identity work we sell commercially. Nothing is held back, and there is no upsell required to receive your files.

What we ask

  • Permission to feature the finished brand publicly as a case study
  • A short conversation about your business so we design the right thing
  • Honest feedback on the work — including if you don't like something

If you're happy with the work afterwards, we'll invite you to leave an honest review — but that's entirely your choice and it is never a condition of the offer.

Why would we do this?

Because we're new, and we'd rather earn a portfolio than pretend we already have one.

Manara Media launched in 2026. Our website is full of concept studies — original brand worlds we created ourselves to show how we think. They're good work, and they're honestly labelled as concepts. But concepts aren't clients.

So instead of buying credibility, we're building it: real businesses, real briefs, real outcomes we can point to. Fifteen brands done properly is worth more to us than any amount of advertising.

You get a brand you'd otherwise pay for. We get work worth showing. That's the whole deal.

Who we're looking for

We're selecting across a spread of industries so the portfolio shows range. You don't need to be big — a brand-new licence is completely fine.

A good fit looks like

  • · A real, operating UAE business (or one launching soon)
  • · Someone who can spare 30 minutes for a proper conversation
  • · Happy for the finished brand to be shown publicly
  • · Open to being surprised by a strong idea

Probably not a fit

  • · Needing it finished tomorrow
  • · Wanting a specific logo copied from elsewhere
  • · Unable to share the work publicly
