Typical jobs and what they go for
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Social media graphics, set of five | £50 to £100 |
| Logo with two revisions | £150 to £280 |
| Brand basics: logo, colours, type | £300 to £400 |
What changes the price for design
- Type of work. A set of social graphics is a few hours. A logo with brand colours and type is days of thinking, drafts and changes.
- Number of concepts and revisions. Most quotes include two or three rounds of changes. More rounds, or a fresh concept late on, cost extra.
- Files and rights. Print-ready PDFs, vector files and full copyright transfer are worth asking for up front, as some designers price them separately.
- How good the brief is. Examples you like, your text written and your sizes known make a quote much tighter.
What is usually included
- The agreed concepts and revision rounds
- Final files in the formats listed in the task
- Fonts and images the designer is licensed to use
And what is usually not
- Printing costs
- Paid stock photos or premium fonts, unless agreed
- Copywriting
- Extra rounds of changes beyond the quote
The one thing that saves the most money
Ask for the copyright to be assigned to you in writing, and for the vector source files, as part of the price. Under UK law the designer owns the copyright unless it is assigned in writing, which matters most for a logo.

What makes design work more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
