Pro tip: I priced my first logo job at $75 after a guy at a coffee shop in Boise told me his rule
I was sketching logo ideas on my laptop at a coffee shop in Boise last month when the guy at the next table peeked over and asked what I was charging. I told him $75 for the whole thing and he just laughed and said "you're pricing your time, not your art." He told me to figure out how many hours it would take, then pick an hourly rate that didn't make me resent the work, and I realized the logo was gonna eat up 6 hours easy. So I went back to the client with $150 and explained the breakdown, and they said yes on the spot. Now I'm wondering if I should be quoting per hour from the start or just giving a flat number that already bakes it in. How do you all handle the first quote when you don't know how long it'll actually take?
