PRICING FAQ

 Thank you very much for considering my services and I look forward to creating your design. I base all of my prices on $30 usd for the first hour (1 hour minimum) and $20 usd per hour thereafter. I also require a $50 up front retainer fee for all new customers. This fee will be applied to the final cost of your design. If your design ends up costing you less than $50 you will be refunded the difference. I have been doing this for a long time so most designs move along pretty quickly. If you have a set rate for subbing out work let me know and I will do my best to work with you. I also normally decrease the first hour price down to the regular rate for repeating customers unless the design takes less than 1 hour as well as drop the retainment fee for customers in good standing. Logos created from scratch start at $100 usd including 5 hours work and then $20 usd for each additional hour over that. Any designs you need using your logo such as business cards, letter heads etc. will be billed $20 usd an hour with a one hour minimum unless you want to add the additional designs at the time of your initial commission then the 1 hour minimum is included with your logo design. If your logo is already designed and you need it vectorized the rates are the same as a regular commission. I do not do speculative work.

  All of my billing is done through PayPal's secure billing service. After final proofs are sent and the design is set I will inform you of the price then bill you. Upon receiving payment your design will be sent to you via e-mail or a file transfer service depending upon the file size. I currently use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. If your printer needs a specific file format let me know otherwise they will be sent as an .ai & .eps, or a .psd format. If you already know your printer's requirements send them to me and I will meet them. If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact me back with them.
Thanks,
