    Another situation - friend of an associate emails you and wants a logo for their small side-project company and asks your rate. You know they aren't going to pay big bucks for a logo and don't need anything complicated. You like their project and wouldn't mind helping, but don't want to look amateur.

    Assuming they have nothing to trade, do you:
    Give them a low rate
    Ask them what they had in mind (not professional?)
    Tell them your normal price and probably not get the job
    Other

    • Normal price, minus 10% if you are feeling generous.rabbit
    • Tell them the normal price - when you go back with the mates rate ask for more creative autonomy as a trade off. Avoids them becoming an interfering cheapskateSlashPeckham
    • ^ if only it worked like that - like a client will sign over their right to be happy with what you do for them - will not happen, ever.fadein11
