Not sure I understand exactly what you mean, v3? Are you referring merely to asset production or to the development of a worthy mark? The creation of a complete brand file with guidelines documents etc - or to take my work and their brand seriously? If they're paying me honest money to do my job, these are all givens, surely?
I must be making myself sound like a right schmuck here - I'm not a complete noob, I've been pretending to be a designer in one form or another for 8 years now! :)
It's just that I've never been comfortable with pricing myself in this kind of situation, haven't done it in a while and when I did back in the day, was able to charge what was then a good rate (for me, anyway). This job's for a small 'start up' with a budget level that I've got be careful about, so I'm just wondering what is fair - and if that's 'high' (as far as their expectations are concerned) I want to feel comfortable in asking for it.
I don't need or want to squeeze as much money as I can from them - just for it to be ..well, fair.
