[Hidden-tech] Logo designer

[Adam Connor]

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.
