So i'm sitting here browsing the internet and I came across this site that has all the general rates and criteria for logo designs (all I do is logos) and I realize that im really not getting what im worth when it comes down to this graphic design game. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind hooking up my friends but there has to come to a point where I need to be getting paid for the work and creativity that I put in. Creating a logo is creating someone's identity. That one logo will be seen by lord knows how many people and I only charge what for it? If you ask any professional graphic design company that does logo designs they will tell you that they will charge at least...AT LEAST $150. And that is as cheap as it gets (unless they advertise it like $75 in which you're getting some clip art). I appreciate the fact that you guys choose me to design alot of your logos but please don't undervalue my work, especially if I know you're making bank off of it. Just look at Nike, Coca Cola, Undefeated, Apple, Supreme etc, their logos identify the integrity of their businesses. A logo IS that powerful and should never be undervalued....KhanOne
