Logos are an important part of any business brand. But how much does a logo design cost?<\/p>

As a business owner, you want your brand to be recognizable. Part of that is a great logo design. It should be eye-catching, but not too complicated. It needs to be easy to understand, but also encapsulate your business.<\/p>

That’s why, unless you’re a graphic designer, it’s best to hand off logo making to the professionals.\u00a0<\/p>

When you’re budgeting for a logo, there are lots of things to factor in. Check out our guide to logo design cost to get started.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What are the different things you have to consider when budgeting for a logo? Consider the following:<\/p>

How will you be using the logo?<\/strong><\/h3>

You know that you’ll use your logo for a business. But what kind of business are your running? Is it all online? Or do you need the logo for business cards and brochures? How you use your logo will determine part of the logo design cost.<\/p>

If you’re looking for a high-resolution logo design for your website, then you’ll ask for a\u00a0raster file<\/strong><\/a>. Raster files base their size on pixel grids, which means they have a fixed size. It’s perfect for using on your website, but not much else.<\/p>

But if you want more flexibility, you want a\u00a0vector file<\/strong>. Vectors are very flexible, and you can change the size without losing the quality. They’ll have a file extension of .ai, .eps, .svg, or .pdf. While vector files have more flexibility for you, they cost more.<\/p>

The other thing you must consider is the colors of your logo. You’ll want full-color copies of your logo, along with transparent backgrounds.<\/p>

What you’re looking for in a logo<\/strong><\/h3>

Logo design<\/a>\u00a0will play a role in how much you pay. At the very least, you want something that is eye-catching but easy to read. The\u00a0colors should communicate<\/a>\u00a0a specific feeling. It should feature your company name as well.<\/p>

If you’re looking for a simple logo, then the logo design cost will stay in the range of $100-$200. But if you’re already well established and you want something nicer, the cost will be as high as $1,000. This can include\u00a0custom illustrations and fonts<\/a>.<\/p>

Another factor that will affect the cost of a logo is how far you are in the development process. If you already have a good idea of what you want your logo to look like, or you have colors and font, then it may not cost as much. But if you ask the graphic designer to work from scratch, they’ll raise the logo design price.<\/p>

Extra costs<\/strong><\/h3>

There are other costs you should consider in your logo design budget.<\/p>

If you’re looking for an illustration, then you need to budget for an artist. Even if your graphic designer is also an illustrator, that kind of work will cost you about $200 to $500 more.<\/p>

You also need to think about printing and branding costs.\u00a0Business cards<\/a>, social media graphics, and brand guides will all cost extra.<\/p>

DIY vs. hiring a professional<\/strong><\/h3>

If\u00a0you’re a freelancer<\/a>\u00a0who’s strapped for cash, then take a crack at logo design. There are plenty of options to make your own logo. You can pay for a design program like Adobe Illustrator or Canva and do it yourself.<\/p>

But a warning: there’s a reason people get paid to do this. It takes a lot of time and energy to create a decent looking logo. Plus you need to know about\u00a0visual psychology<\/a>\u00a0and branding.<\/p>

So if you don’t have any money and you need a logo, try to make one yourself. It can be a good place marker until you can afford something nicer.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
