Used to charge $50 for a logo until I saw someone else's pricing breakdown
Back in 2019 I was doing logos for $50 flat on Fiverr and thought that was just how it worked. I saw a post from a graphic designer in Austin who charged $800 for a basic logo package and I honestly laughed at first. Then I actually looked at what she included - 3 rounds of revisions, vector files, brand guide, the whole deal. I started raising my rates slowly, like $75, then $100, then $150. Last month I quoted a local coffee shop $400 for their logo and they said yes without even negotiating. I still feel weird charging that much sometimes but my work got better when I had more time to spend on it. Has anyone else had that moment where you realized your old rates were just way too low?
