    Im using the word 'logo' on purpose...

    A mark is created and sold to the client. No guidelines - nothing.

    For example - way back when - Burt's Bees...

    So Burt pays you $1000 for doing his 'logo' and he sells his products at markets etc.

    Had you had known Burt was going to blow up - would you have charged him more?

    Would you have charged him $1000 for the logo but then have say 'usage rights' in the contract?

    Essentially - Im interested in your thoughts on 'usage' after the 'logo' has been delivered.

    Thanks

    • I'm of the opinion that the designer shouldn't in any way feel entitled to more money in the future simply because the brand became hugeset
    • Charge what you're comfortable charging, move on and be proud that your work is so widely recognised.set
    • In other words, charge sensibly and don't be an entitled cunt.set
    • Usage rights for a logo?bainbridge
    • good luck selling that to the clientFax_Benson
    • I include usage rights in contracts, even for logos. Usually defined as "in perpetuity, unlimited" provided they don't resell since I claim authorship.hellobotto
    • "Had you had known Burt was going to blow up - would you have charged him more?" Should clients ask for refunds if the brand built from a logo tanks? No and no.hellobotto
