Graphic Design Pricing | Logo Design Cost
How much should Logo Design Cost?!
When working with design clients cost is almost always the first topic that arises…
I myself (being a cautious spender) completely understand why cost is such an important piece of any project at hand. Whether it be the cost of a logo design or the cost of an oil change – the instant gratification one gets from knowing the cost of ANY project – is a feeling of empowerment and security…
However, with logo design there are many factors that can throw off a quote or fixed price. Some logo designs are more complex than others, and therefore the time it takes to create them is always different.
This is why it is important to meet with your graphic designer and discuss in full detail the project at hand. Break everything down that you are looking for, openly discuss your budget and timeframe.
Use the questions below to give your graphic designer an accurate understanding of the cost and timeframe for your logo design:
- How complex is your logo – How many elements will it include?
- Will your logo design be one color, two colors or more?
- Do you currently have a concept of your logo?
- How many different concepts/color schemes would you like to review?
- What message are you looking to send with your logo?
- How will you be using your logo… Will you need many different sizes/file types?
- What adjectives would best describe your logo?
- What’s your preferred deadline, time frame or exact date of completion?
- What is your budget?
- Would you like any addition design services to be packaged with your new logo?
The above questions are a great start. However, it is imperative that you and your designer meet to discuss your concept in further detail. Many agencies will offer free consultations so take advantage! Consult with as many agencies as you like before hiring to ensure your satisfaction in the final product!
