half as big as the client wants it

I always make my logos about 3 inches thick.

In the future, logo size will be automatically adjusted to suit the client's logo-anxiety status at any given time - through a thought-mapping headset filled with electrodes. I'm rolling out a prototype (a swimming hat with batteries taped to it) as we speak.

This is exactly the sort of questine every seasoned designer should be considering - especially publicly..

I heard girls don't like it when the logo is too big.

this has always been a great guide, when you really need to know just how big to make a logo, always useful:

I'm guessing from the replies that most people tend to make their logos in what is commonly known as big.

bigger logos = bigger profits but you might want to speak to an accountant if you'd like an extra big logo because there are a variety of tax and financial things that you should be aware of before you take that step.

My logos are usually medium sized. But I always ask my clients if they would like to super-size their logo for an extra $0.40.

I have tricked them into believing that the latest round is slightly bigger. Sorry I had to confess.

Make the design how you want it to look, and then just make that fucking logo BIGGER. It'll save you the embarrassment when the client asks you to do it.
And then after that, you can go fuck yourself.

I always size it so it's just smaller than legible on screen from a standard distance.
This achieves two things:
1. Gives a wow factor. The person on the site will feel a little shitty about themselves for having eyes that are too crap to make out what it says. This makes them assume you're aiming for a better standard of person as your user. They will go for this.
2. It brings their face closer to the screen. Statistically, people are more likely to engage with you if they're leaning forward. It releases "nervous first kiss" endorphins that get them aroused.
3. If you're an opticians or spectacles brand, and your user can't see your product clearly, then they will be more compelled to buy as they experience an exaggerated need for eyecare and eyewear, or "eyewearcarebear" for short.
