Hi Cynthia, In my experience $500 for a logo is reasonable, if not low. At an average of $50 an hour, this accounts for ten hours of work, which, when the time to sketch concepts, run through revisions, and create the final artwork is considered isn't that much. Likewise, with a business card, &150 = 3 hours of work, again not much. You may be able to find these services provided by someone more cheaply, such as a student or a designer doing projects like this in his off hours from another job. But for professional work, I'd say this is a good deal. Another option, would be to utilize an online design service like LogoWorks http://www.logoworks.com/ or the Logo Loft http://www.thelogoloft.com/. I've been on a few projects that have used these services, and while I myself haven't seen anything spectacular come out of them, you may have better luck. adam connor little green toaster 413.244.4457 adam at littlegreentoaster.com www.littlegreentoaster.com Cynthia Roderick wrote: > ** The author of this post was a Good Dobee. > ** You too can help the group > ** Fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > I'm looking for someone to design a logo for me for use on business cards, > correspondence, and my website... > I contacted one person who charges $500 for the logo, another $150 for > business cards...
