Charged $50 for a logo, then $800 for the next one, which one was right?

My first logo gig back in Austin I quoted $50 because I was terrified of scaring off the client. They loved it, paid fast, and six months later the same person came back for a full brand package, so I asked around and bumped it to $800. The weird part is the $50 gig took me two weeks of stress and the $800 one took three days because I finally knew what I was doing. So was the low price just a learning tax, or did I undersell myself so badly that I set a bad baseline for everyone after? Has anyone else seen their prices jump like that and wondered if they left money on the table the first time?

Two weeks of stress for fifty bucks, you basically worked for free on that first one.
