No. There are lots of factors which come into play such as;
Who is the client?
Is this a brand or simply a logo?
What is the scope of the project?
How many sets of revisions?
etc etc etc etcI generally laugh at anybody who advertises a flat rate fee 'LOGO DESIGN £99' 'LOGO AND BUSINESS CARD DESIGN £120'. Every job should be different, if it's not, you're a schmuck.

Numero (and Benja), it depends on the business model you want to follow. Agencies charging $99 (volume) or $9999+ (selective) as a flat cost is a fine approach. It requires less client engagement (in the estimating process) and allows you to move on to the next prospect or quickly into ironing out the scope and getting to work.
Personally, I use a mix of fixed and adjustable depending on the opportunity. In cases where I go above or below a standard rate, I'm sure to explain why, and part of the discussion draws a parallel to what the client can afford. "But aren't you setting yourself up to get ripped off?" During those discussions, you can assess whether or not it's a good situation so if you choose to move forward, you'll know what kind of bed you've made for yourself. By having frank conversations with clients about mutual approaches to the financials, you can create an opportunity to align yourself with their business and potentially circumvent the forgettable experiences that accompany the volume places or the "I don't think I got what I paid for" that some selective agencies encounter.
Again, the intersection of design and commerce can be subjective, and this is just my approach which works with my circumstances. I'd also echo previous posts with the "depends" reply because it truly does depend on both the prospect and you.
Best of luck with the charybdis and scylla that is creative estimating and execution!

I don't have a standard charge. For small businesses we usually negotiate a standard fee, and agree on a set number of revisions in that, and then charge per hour for revisions.
With small businesses my flat fee will usually be worth around half the value if I were to charge my hourly rate, partly as an incentive not to do revisions, to open myself up for larger projects as well.
Also, with small businesses I typically allow them to cut me out at a certain point if they feel they want further revisions made, but have someone else in mind who can finish it cheaper. I also do this with projects that involve design and development.
With larger businesses, or parties with some decent funding, I start to charge base rates, hourly rates and consultation fees as well.

Have you had the experience of when a client has a logo done. And by done I mean the client shows you exactly how they want it and they have it in a pdf or doc format. And they just ask you to create it exactly as it is so it can be use in their websites and business cards?
Since the idea. research, design etc is already done, I am guessing you are pretty much just 'copying' with their permission. SoIn this case would you just charge the time spend you creating it for the websites and doing the business cards?

^ if the client shows you exactly the logo they need, you are not designing a logo. Unless you are desperate it is the kind of client you want to avoid.
If instead they are asking you to develop applications, it would be your hourly rate or project based quote (which I wouldn't recommend).

there's really only one thing to consider.
what your client is willing to pay.

$80,000 wouldn't get outta bed for less.
If the client is a hot female aged between 20-35 I knock off $20.
This is why being a designer fucking rocks.I didn't go to Art School BTW. I just downloaded a cracked version of Photoshop when I was 15 and have been making shit loads of money ever since...
