    I don't do work for hire on logo work unless the client wants to pay for it. I give them the option to purchase full rights and if they don't think its fair, they can use another designer. No big deal to me. I've had plenty of work.

    I learned the hard way years ago (and I've hired lawyers on a few occasions) that rights usage is up to the creator. Most companies want work for hire and that's fine. They have to pay me more in that situation.

    All this must be specified in your contract or you're in trouble.
