Does anyone know how to charge for a logo design?
Please let me know ... I've been asked to design one and to let them know the cost.
Thanks - deborah:)

It depends. As said in this thread, a good logo is a lot of work. Expect to give at least 3 different concepts (unless they are set on one.) And then some variations on the concept they choose. Have this all in your contract along with how many revisions you will make and the cost for extra revisions. Also factor in the cost for any other applications of the logo they may want, print, online, a sign, graphic for a side of a truck, etc.
Or maybe they already have something they are using for print and want it converted for the web, or vice versa.
I've worked with a web client scanning a paper bag with his logo and transforming it into a transparent gif that looked perfect on his web site.

A quick start on the conceptual side would be to get your client to show you some logos that they like. This will give you an idea of the kind of look they're going for, and give you an idea about the prominent elements of composition to work toward.

Wow! Most people have no idea the work that goes into a logo design.
This is where the graphic designers come in with all their years of training (40 for me!!)
Tim R is correct. This is can be a kettle of fish..3 days old...if you are not into layout, type fonts, grids and "marks".
And Larry, as ever the knowledgeable one, is correct. Not your forum here.
Trading can be a venue for you but don't think little when you trade! ;]
Good luck with whatever you decide...and have some fun if you make the move to design
the logo!
Has your client given you any mission statement, visuals, etc. as a conceptual point of origin?
Or are you developing from scratch? Logo design without client insight can be open ended.

Charge whatever your time is worth to you..same as you would do with your art...Consider a logo your art...
Deborah - feel free to send me a private message and I'll answer your question, providing that's not illegal!!
Larry- didn't know that, sorry.
ok -- didn't know.
A warning.
You can't discuss prices on a public forum, it's considered price fixing.
