How much should I charge for a freelance job creating logos


How much should I charge for a freelance job creating logos?
Here's a quick background info. I got my BA in graphic design, been working for about 2 years in graphic design and I am currently on salary for 35k. Haven't done freelance work since I've been so busy but I've got lots of free time now and wanna start doing it. I've been asked to create some logos but I'm not sure what to put my rate at. This is strictly graphic design work, no web coding or web videos. Just graphics like logos or converting to vector.

hi there - Im the director of marketing for CSE Graphic Outfitters. We specialize in Direct Embroidery, Screen Print, Heat Sublimation and custom/standard patches. I used to head up a team for the same thing you are doing. In the past other free lance graphic designers had a very similar structure for the following. 3 logo designs - $59.00 No Changes 6 logo designs - $89.00 3 changes 8 logo designs unlimited changes - $250.00 Usually if people purchase the 6 logo designs with 3 changes the most. If you start messing with the 8 logo designs with unlimited changes people usually wont be happy with anything you produce and end up spending more time than its worth. These are some basic packages that they structured but you can play with the numbers on your own. Hope this helps with a good starting point. Good luck Luke CSE Graphic Outfitters email for yahoo answers: cseGraphicOutfitters@yahoo.com website: www.cseGraphicOutfitters.com - under construction
