A new law has been established to control the usage of the Dubai emblems for the government and the emirate. The new law was issued by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and the UAE's vice president and prime minister, to prevent the use of the government logo or the emirate emblem for commercial reasons.
The law, which was unveiled on Wednesday, January 5, specifies the scope and timing of the usage of the symbol for both companies.
Only organizations with specific authorization are permitted to use the Emirate of Dubai emblem in specific locations, at specific events, on documents, and on seals.
Additionally, buildings, websites, events, activities, records, papers, and applications of the government and its entities may all utilize the Dubai Government emblem. Neither can be used for commercial reasons or to advertise and promote goods, materials, tools, or products.
The new rule explicitly states that any misuse of either logo is completely forbidden, especially if it distorts or reduces its standing and value.
The General Secretariat of the Executive Council of Dubai will produce a guidebook that will provide guidelines on how the Dubai symbols may be used.
The government badge reads "Government of Dubai" in both Arabic and English, while the emirate's logo simply reads "Dubai." Despite this, the two badges of Dubai are similar in many ways.
Both of the emblems' symbols are uniquely Dubai and represent the emirate's identity, heritage, values, and vision.
