How much does identity design cost?

An obviously important question, but one that can’t be answered without specific details about the design project. Every company is different, so it makes sense to tailor a quote to individual needs.

Pricing varies depending upon a large number of factors. Comparing the design profession to any other is by no means exact, but the, “How much for a logo?” question is kind of like asking an estate agent, “How much for a house?”

How long will the project take to complete?

At the beginning of each project the designer and client will set some delivery timeframes, such as when initial ideas are to be expected, and how long possible revisions may take. As each project is different, I wait until learning about client needs before providing a deadline. Depending upon complexity, identity projects can last from a few days in length to upwards of months.

Can you start right away?

It’s possible, but not likely. I need to pay close attention to my current clients and their ongoing projects. Taking on too much work at once will adversely affect the outcome.

What exactly do I receive when you send initial design ideas?

I will normally send clients a PDF file with logos shown over a number of pages. I display the designs in a variety of formats, such as in 100% black, a softer gray, reversed on a dark background, and possibly using a distinctive colour scheme (although colour is often left until the latter stages, once the idea has been finalised).

What filetypes do you provide?

Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) are the main filetypes provided. The brandmark will be in vector format, which means it can be scaled to any size necessary without loss of quality. From either of these files, and with the proper software, the client will be able to create any other filetype necessary (.jpg, .png, .gif, etc.). I’m more than happy to help with specific file requests, and will answer questions if clients are in any way unsure.

You’re in a different country from me. Will this affect things?

The vast majority of my clients come from outside the US, mainly because of my strong search engine rankings. This hasn’t adversely affected any of my design projects, and it can often save time by communicating only via email.

Can we talk on the telephone?

Absolutely. All clients receive my mobile phone number, and I’m available between 9am and 5pm (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time, from Monday to Friday (except during weekends and holidays).

How do you accept payment?

With most design projects, I request a 50% downpayment prior to scheduling the work, and the remaining 50% is payable upon completion of the project, prior to supply of original artwork. For your convenience, we accept the following forms of payment: All major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) accepted securely online through PayPal.com.

Will you feature my new brand identity in your portfolio?

I reserve the right to showcase designs in my promotional work, but it’s not guaranteed all will be included. Finding the time to document each individual process isn’t straightforward.
