What do/would you charge for a standalone logo design?

[davep]

depends on
a) how good it is
how complex it is
c) how long it takes you to do and whether it's worth that to the client
d) if you include revisions/2-3 versions and print versions too

[Cre8ivdesign]

Are you looking to get one done?

I charge about £150 on average for a stand alone logo design. This includes 2hrs amendment time.

please excuse the state of the website I am currently in the process of doing it.

So, taking the above into account, what would be your top and bottom rates, ball park?

Cre8ivdesign - getting a 404 on that page, I'm afraid ...

Ball park figures....

Basic logo from £79 (that's for a simple text only logo)
Middle of the road logo between £79 and £129(icon and text)
Full colour illustration logo costs a lot more (£90 and upwards)

Personally I offer a minimum of 3 mocks and unlimited revisions

Are you looking for a logo, or are you trying to work out pricing for yourself?

If it's for yourself, you need to work out how much your time and skill costs and then work out how long it will take you to design it (including research, designing, revising, etc)

Thanks for the figures so far, they've been helpful.

I'm trying to price up a design of my own for a client..interesting to note that you, Helen, include research time in your calculations..had never even considered this before.

Still interested in what the rest of you are charging, and how you're breaking down the cost

Tried that, didn't work for me either..

[Helen]

If you want to give me a brief background about the logo, I could tell you what I would charge.

I'll summarise the brief:

'Logo for a site offering coding services (primarily PHP). Simple design promoting the idea of quality over quantity, something that'll look good on a white background for printing invoices, and on a dark-coloured website background'.

Edit: Just realised that doesn't really give much info.. It's a logo design for an acquaintance, so I'll be charging a discounted rate. Have spent about 8hrs on the design so far, and come up with 3 alternatives.

Sorry..... have been really busy.... had a manic weekend! Does the logo have text only or text/image?

It's a text/icon combo

[zach21uk]

For logo with text/icon combo i would charge probably between £40-60 (in pricelist on my site number is much lower, old,old price, ignore it).

[SEO Guy]

I think £70-£100 is reasonable for a basic logo £200+ for a high standard one
