Frequently Asked Questions
The following are answers to some of the most common questions I receive regarding my logo design services. If you have any further questions please get in touch!
How much does a logo cost?
I try to find something for every budget. My prices can range between $200 to $1,000 USD for a logo project. This will depend on the complexity of your project and how many concepts and revisions you desire.
What is the process for designing a logo?
Here's how I facilitate logo design projects:
- Fill out and submit a design brief telling me about your needs. The more information I have, the better a job I can do for you, so don't worry about it being too lengthy.
- I will follow up with you by the next day to discuss how I can help and what your pricing options are.
- Once we've agreed to terms, pricing and deliverables, I will generate an invoice for you to pay using PayPal or Square.
- I will get working on some logo designs that reflect the values of your company and leave a lasting impression. Within 2-3 days you will receive these first drafts.
- At this stage you can share your feedback and we'll work together to refine your logo to perfection. You can change elements such as colors, styles, fonts, sizing, or anything else. These are known as revisions.
- Once the logo has been perfected to your liking, I will produce all of the files and formats you could ever need for your logo, including editable vectors, monotone variations, usable JPEGs, PNGs with a transparent background, and a brand style guide.
- Your new logo will be ready to use, and if you ever have questions or need assistance, I'm only an email or phone call away.
How many revisions do I get?
This will be determined by the pricing option you choose.
I offer various pricing options to accommodate a range of budgets. Lower-priced options come with a revision count as low as 5 rounds, whereas higher-priced options come with unlimited rounds of revisions.
That said, revision count is just a loose guideline. I will never leave you hanging with incomplete work, even if that means going an extra few rounds.
Will you be designing the logo or do you outsource it to someone else?
I will be designing your logo myself. I do not outsource my logo projects to others.
Everything on my portfolio was created by me and is indicative of the quality standards you can expect when hiring me.
How long does a logo project take from start to finish?
Typically, the average logo project is completed within a week, from start to finish.
How is payment handled?
Payment is made upfront to secure a spot in my schedule and begin working. I accept payment via PayPal's invoicing service, but I have other payment gateways you can use if you're located in a country that PayPal doesn't operate in.
What if I don’t like the designs?
If you’re not happy with the designs I present then you can elect to cancel the project if you’d like.
Due to the nature of releasing original ideas and the investment of time it requires, I can only refund 50% of the cost.
Refund requests must be made before the 2nd round of revisions. This is to prevent cancellations after having spent days and weeks working on numerous revisions.
Once we’ve outlined the scope of work and agree on a price, I’ll be sending over a standard service agreement for you to look over and approve before getting started. It addresses refunds and the like in more detail.
What files will I receive?
You will receive all of the files and formats you could possibly ever need for a logo. Here’s the main formats…
- SVG – True vector format. This is the editable source file that can be edited by me, you, or another designer if need be.
- PNG – Rasterized format with a transparent background. Ideal for applications where your logo will be layered over a preexisting background, like websites, advertisements, mobile apps, etc.
- JPG – Another rasterized format, similar to PNG, only without a transparent background because JPG doesn’t support alpha channels.
- + More
You can read more about all of the variations and file types you can expect on a post I wrote about logo files for clients.
Will I own the rights to the logo once it's finished?
You will own the logo that I create for you and can use it however you'd like. All logos that I create are done as a work for hire. This means that you will automatically assume ownership and will be recognized as the author/copyright holder of the final design as if you created it yourself.
The only instance in which you won’t be granted ownership is if you cancel the project.
Can you redesign my existing logo?
Absolutely! Just reach out and we'll discuss it.
Can you create a logo that works for both digital and print?
Yes. In fact, all logos that I design are created with versatility in mind.
A logo that isn't versatile isn't very useful. I will ensure that your logo can be used in any context, whether it be for digital screens, printed with ink, embroidered onto a cap, or used as a monotone window decal.
Do you offer additional design services?
Yes, I offer various branding-related design services, including:
- Business cards
- Letterheads & envelopes
- Social media graphics
- Banners
- Vehicle wraps
- Postcards
- Display ad designs
- Labels and packaging design

Can I discuss my project with you over the phone?
Absolutely, just make sure to reach out in advance to schedule a call. This allows me to put aside a big enough block of time to go over everything and answer your questions sufficiently.
