Just getting an idea for standard logo design pricing...just a logo, no supplemental material.

It wholly depends on the scale/quality of the client/product.
This measure dictates how much effort you put in to, which roughly dictates how long the project will take. So, unless you're talking about a small scale client, you shouldn't really think of it in terms of hourly rates.
I say this, like I know what I'm on about - but I still have massive problems in this department, so have been gradually upping my rates over the past 18 months - I'm just waiting to hear a client squeal like a cold pig on hot gravel, then I'll know I've gone too far.
Suffice to say - try not to undersell yourself - even if it means aggrandizing the efforts and thought processes you apply to the solution.
I say this, but I know I still undersell myself. I also know I'm not in the same ballpark as moamoa, so I couldn't directly base my ideas on his.

what's his budget? do you want to work for that cheap?

I'd say take $5k as a base. If you go below that you are under cutting yourself and the rest of the industry. Some clients really balk at even this much but they have to see it as an investment in their company that will add far more value then the money you are charging.
If they don't see the value don't try to convince them. We're not here to convert people into true believers of the value of custom design. Tell them to go online and get a crappy $50 logo if they are not happy with your price.

someone, pass me a client. just 1

I've been doing them lately for £250.
For that they get 60 logos and unlimited amends.

feel that digdre...its relatively small...no major branding required. Probably will just charge a flat-rate. Thanks!

i used to say £600 for logo, letterhead and business card design with a time limitation ex print.

find out how much they realistically want to pay and negotiate and talk about it, don't listen to Jnr he is a total bogan and a cunt.

Curious what people would consider average for branding/logo design for a small business?
- how long is a rope?
I know, unhelpful but it's such an open field.
https://www.quora.co…Gnash - Fair enough, so how much would a creative agency charge..average?formed
- so many questions, how many employees, what industry, how far is the reach,Hayoth
- how long is a rope?

I'll do it for anywhere from 200-1k. But I don't really like logo work and I mostly do it for small fries
- sort of this, depends. not very lucky the three last times or four last inquiries.oey
- sorry for my english :/ hahaha!oey
- yea mostly from word of mouth. also charge to the client as project, if i think theyre going to be picky or not. walked away with and returned deposit on a fewdeathboy
- where i could tell the person had no idea what they were looking for still after initial development. always take money up front with strangersdeathboy
- oey0
I asked for 500€ last time.
- Present two or three ideas
- Develop one after meeting with client
- Present the development of that idea
- Retouching after feedback- Deliver Logo in all files and sizes necessary in color, b&w, negative, monochrome...
One month to two months of work.
(20 till 30 hours effective work hopefully max without counting meetings time, phone calls, time reading and sending emails...)They refused...LOL!
I would ask for 500€ up for basic stationary.
- I might refresh a logo at that price but there's no way you're getting a decent hourly rate at only 500.monospaced
- Yeah, I am figuring about a 0 added to that.
But logo pricing is tough, cheap f*er's everywhere!formed - Believe me, I asked several times far more when stationary was included. last time I asked for 6000€ for a 9 month period of work.oey
- The company was developing and things needed time from their side, etc...oey
- I would take care of the company's image. Everything. And in this time I would basically work for them.oey
- I would have some time left for other stuff but...oey
- They refused, that it was too unrealistic. And asked if they could counter propose...till today, like 9 years later.oey
- I replied them listen, you'll have a designer exclusively working for you for 660€ a month.oey
- any of them was receiving more money. then I proposed you hire me in this job program and the unemployment center pays half of my salary and you the other half.oey
- that would be 450€ from their side. they refused!!! after years of stories like this I opted out from Portugal and went to wash dishes and paint graffiti...oey
- ...to Amsterdam.oey
- this to say, I do not intend to be a cheap fucker, I don't want to work for baked beans and I certainly don't want to be known for being cheap.oey
- I just lost 400€ last month cause I invited someone to paint a room in a youth center and he wanted to receive 200€ less. Even the client laughed of the price.oey
- I really regret that cause would I have not invited him I would have received his part and have asked for more from the start.oey
- Never again. 3 days painting for 400€...cause some dude was afraid to lose a client...who said from the beginning that money was not a problem.oey
