I’ve gotten 3 emails in the past week with users wanting me to design them a unique logo for $50. You know, we do have a logo category here, why don’t they purchase a logo from there for $29 and save $21 bucks?

Wouldn’t you think a unique logo would sell for a minimal of $250 depending on the complexity?

Has anyone experienced this before?

Just be polite, be professional and explain why that is not a fair price.

If they still come back with such a dumb price then you have two options:

1 – Walk away

2 – Do the work but make it clear that you are only selling them a single license to use that logo and that you will then submit it on here for sale. It might be that they’re not fussed about it being unique but just can’t find exactly what they’re looking for on the marketplace right now. Just an idea.

That’s really good advice Philmo. I appreciate the response and I’m going to use that for ammo.

Yea, but I’m getting emails from people who aren’t willing to pay a decent amount for a unique logo.
