Few marketing pieces stay in front of people as long as a calendar. Hung on a wall or placed on a desk, it is checked every day for a whole year, and every glance is a reminder of your name. Dzone Ads designs wall calendars, desk calendars and corporate calendars for businesses, institutions, mosques, madrasas and organisations across Kerala, India and the Gulf, including combined Hijri and Gregorian calendars that serve communities who follow both.
Our designers in Pulikkal, Malappuram, combine accurate dates, readable layouts and attractive visuals so your calendar is genuinely useful. A calendar people rely on is a calendar people keep, and that is exactly what makes it valuable for your brand.
What’s included
- Wall calendar design in single-sheet, six-page or twelve-page formats.
- Desk calendar design for tent-style stands, with month pages sized for office desks and counters.

- Holiday and occasion marking for public holidays and important dates you provide, such as festivals, institutional events and observances.

The 2021 wall calendar we designed for Jamia Jalaliyya, Mundakkulam, shows Hijri and Gregorian dates together in one clean layout, an approach that works well for Islamic institutions and the communities they serve. Browse more examples in our portfolio.
Why a branded calendar is worth it
A full year of visibility
Most advertising is seen once and forgotten. A calendar is used every day for twelve months in homes, offices, shops and staff rooms. That steady, friendly presence keeps your business top of mind when people need what you offer, and because it is useful, people are happy to receive it.
A thoughtful gift for customers and well-wishers
New Year calendars are a long-standing tradition in Kerala and among Malayali families in the Gulf. Giving a well-designed calendar to customers, members, donors and partners is a warm way to say thank you and stay connected. A carefully made calendar reflects well on the organisation behind it.
Accuracy builds trust
Combined Hijri and Gregorian calendars need extra care. Hijri dates follow the lunar calendar and can differ by a day depending on moon sighting, so we work with the dates you or your scholars confirm and keep the layout clear about what is shown. A calendar with wrong dates quickly loses credibility, which is why we build careful proof checks into every project.
Readability comes first
A calendar is a tool before it is an advertisement. We use large, clear date numerals, strong contrast and a consistent grid so the month can be read from across a room. Fridays, Sundays and holidays can be highlighted in a distinct colour, and secondary details such as Hijri dates or Malayalam month names are placed so they inform without crowding the main dates. Your branding sits comfortably at the top or bottom of each page, visible every day but never in the way. For a matching set, we can also design greeting cards, posters or a brochure in the same style.
Our process
- Brief: we agree the format, size, number of pages, languages and the dates and occasions to include, over WhatsApp, a call or a meeting.
- Concepts: we design a cover and one sample month so you can approve the style and readability.
- Full design and revisions: we complete every month, add your images and branding, and refine based on your feedback.
- Date proofing: you check all dates, holidays and Hijri details on a final proof and confirm each page.
- Final files and printing: we deliver print-ready files, or coordinate printing and binding with our trusted partners.
Pricing
Calendar design is priced on a custom quote, because costs vary with the format, number of pages, languages, Hijri date work and image editing. Printing depends on quantity, paper, binding and whether you choose wall or desk stands. Larger print runs usually lower the cost per calendar, so it helps to estimate your distribution list early. Visit our pricing page for an overview of our rates, then request a free quote with your preferred format and quantity. If you need a GST invoice, mention it with your request and we will confirm the billing details.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you design a calendar with both Hijri and Gregorian dates?
Yes. We design combined calendars showing both dates for each day, as in our Jamia Jalaliyya 2021 calendar. We use the Hijri dates you confirm so they match your community’s practice.
Which is better, a wall calendar or a desk calendar?
Wall calendars suit homes, shops and institutions and offer more space for images. Desk calendars work well for offices and corporate gifting. Many clients order both.
Can we use our own photos for each month?
Yes. We can feature your products, events, campus or team, and we will edit the photos so they look their best in print.
Can the calendar be in Malayalam?
Yes. We design calendars in Malayalam, English, Arabic or any combination of these.
Do you arrange printing?
