Good point, it is an important distinction to be made but I did mean over priced. One company charged me (ripped me off) $500 for 3 "unique" logo and business card concepts. They had a very good rating and feedback on the site and looked trustworthy. I paid them, 4 hours later they provided me 3 stock images (which I traced to iStock) with my contact info on it. The stock images they used were also totally unrelated and generic. When I complained the response I got was "You paid for 3 concepts and we delivered." So I emailed the CEO of the company and it turns out the guy I was dealing with was the CEO! Lessons to be learned.
- iamjonlee 15y agoOne lesson I learned form my hunt for logo designers was to hire by hour. Maybe coincidental, but I tend to hire freelance designers from Europe at hourly rates of $30-$70. While I did encounter mix results, all the design work was still considered very high quality. For 5 basic concepts, it ran me around 7 hours, after which adding another 5 hours for coloring, textures, shadow, typography comes out to be around $500-$700. For 3 "unique" logo and business card concepts, it seems too good to be true. Sorry about your bad experience, better luck next time!
