The short answer

Each band is a different job.

How much a logo costs in Newcastle depends on what you are buying: a ready made mark, a logo drawn for your business, or a logo with the colours, type and rules for using it.

What separates the bands is less about how the logo looks and more about the files you receive and whether you own them.

Price bands

What each price band buys

Under $100
A marketplace or a generator. Fast, and the same shape may be sold to other businesses.
$400 to $2,000
A designer, a few directions, revisions and the full file set.
$2,000 to $5,000
The logo plus colours, type and how it is used.
$8,000 and up
A full brand, often alongside a website or a rebrand.

If your existing logo only needs tidying and its files rebuilt, a new logo may not be needed.

The files

The files decide the real cost

A logo you only have as a picture from a screen cannot go on a sign, vehicle or shirt without being redrawn, and the redraw is another bill. A sign writer needs a version that scales to two metres without blurring. An embroiderer needs one without shadows or gradients. A printer needs the colours written down.

A version that scales to any size
A vector file for signage and vehicle wraps.
A plain one colour version
For embroidery, stamps and single colour printing.
The colour codes written down
So the printer and the sign writer match each other.
Written permission to use it
In your name, with nothing to renew.

When cheap is fine

When the cheap logo is the right answer

A new business testing whether an idea works may have better places for two thousand dollars. A simple mark can carry it until there is something to put it on.

The point it stops being enough is the first physical item: signage, a vehicle, uniforms or a shopfront. They all need proper drawings, and that is the time to pay once for the full file set. Our graphic design service covers the pieces that follow.

The short version

Buy the full set of logo files, in your name, before anything goes on a sign or vehicle. A logo bought only as a picture often gets paid for twice.

Common questions

Questions people ask.

Why do logo quotes vary so much?

They are different jobs: a ready made picture, a logo drawn for you with a full file set, or a whole brand with colours and type decided.

Do I own the logo I paid for?

Only where it says so in writing. Ask for that with the files.

Can I use a logo generator?

For a business still being tested, yes. Before anything goes on a sign, vehicle or uniform, you need proper vector files.

How long does a logo take?

A fortnight to a month with a designer. Most of that is the back and forth, so quick decisions make it faster.

How does spareday charge?

spareday quotes one price for the work your business needs, agreed in writing before anything starts. The figure depends on what the business needs, and it comes with your quote.
