LOGO & BUSINESS CARD

A logo is an essential part of any brand’s identity—it’s often the first thing a potential customer will see, and it’s critical to use a logo that stands out from the competition. But how much should a logo design cost? As with all business spending, you want to weigh the cost of logo design against the quality and value you will gain.

The cost of a logo design is anywhere from €0 to tens of thousands of dollars, but if you’re a small business or startup looking for quality design, a good logo design should cost between €100-€1000.

Logo design prices can vary, for instance, the price of a logo design depends on the quality and who created it. Take a look at your budget and let us help you decide the best way to spend based on your needs.
