How much would YOU pay for a professional logo?

Depends, if you are helping out and wanting to keep costs down then $50 would be your line, you can also do some free logos for non-profits and churches or whatever else can use it and with that, they can bring in more business. As a freelancer you should charge $100 as a base and $400 for a good logo. If you are doing corporate building to an existing profitable business then you are changing the method as you are now selling the logo and its rights, for that you can charge into the thousands, I have seen a $9,000 pay check from it myself but be prepared to make tweaks and alterations and things that would be on the "professional designer" table.

To sum up, price is as low and high as your market would allow, check out what others are offering as well as who your clients are. One fun thing when dealing with a higher end client is to ask them, what are they willing to pay, because a lot of times you will get a number way higher than what you were thinking. That has been my experience anyway. Enjoy!

Hi Guys,

Need an idea to price my logo designs at. So the big question. How much would you pay for a professional logo design service?

Click to expand...

Well, There are hundreds of logo designers out there (most of them Indians). First, you need positive reviews about your works, to do that you need to lower your price at first. You check 99designs and designcrowd. Prices there are pretty high as well as the compitintion.

for a small business no more than $100
i see many logos that dont even look different from others

if its really really good maybe $20

In 1986, Steve Jobs recruited renowned graphic designer Paul Rand to create a brand identity costing $100,000. Rand created a 100-page brochure detailing the brand, including the precise angle used for the logo (28°) and a new company name

So as much as $100k (in 1986 dollars).
However, I ventured into this thread looking for concepts, maybe meet/stumble into a gifted (and charitable) graphic designer who would vacillate on my logo request (no rush) and then if and when inspired, create a brand-identity for this pie-in-the-sky idea.

depends on budget and priorities.
