hey thanks for the vid, once you have clients im unsure about what rates to charge? also could you give a example of typically how long it takes you to create a logo? i know it varys alot but a round about would be great. keep up the good work

@MrDenbrun

How long does it take to design a logo? Hmm...how long does it take to write a song...write a book... It can take a couple hours or it can take a couple of weeks, depending on the client, how many rounds of revisions they can budget for, how much time they can afford to pay you to spend on it.. In other words, there's no easy answer to that one!

@MrDenbrun I can't seem to post a URL, but if you Google freelance rate calculator, the first result should help you out in terms of calculating your rate...

@setYourselfFreelance Thanks mate much appreciated :) i know iv got some people telling me like if you spend to long gettin the idea for the logo it might be to much for the business so if i had spent to long just put it down to an average logo making time while im first starting out, if that made any sense at all haha thanks for the info
