Well the company is small (less than 10 employees including freelancers) but they run thousands of eBay ticket auctions daily and charge people out the ass for them (sports, music, theater events). That's why I'm charging $3k. Not a lot really.
I'm just trying to justify what I'm charging and it's a nightmare. Would the GAG book help me work out if I was being fair?
Here's part of what I've written:
"For the logo I'd normally charge a minimum fee of $3,000. That price includes 2-3 initial concepts, 2-3 sets of design revisions, plus the final suite of logos supplied in different color formats (PMS, CMYK, MONO) and file formats (AI, EPS, JPEG, TIFF, etc.). Usually this whole process takes at least 30-40 hours. Your logo should be the most important part of your brand identity for years to come and it's important to get it right early on so you can concentrate on building brand recognition."
I think the 'brand recognition' line is a bit bullshitty and probably needs reworded. But I'm close to saying "fuck it" and hitting 'send'.
- I think you should put the price last so he has to read about how you come up with the total.Frosty_spl
