logo designer

A typical logo package covers a short discovery chat about your business, two or three initial concepts, a round or two of revisions on your chosen direction, and final files in every format you need: vector files (AI, EPS or SVG) for print and signage, plus PNGs for web and social. Many freelancers include a one-page usage guide covering colours, spacing and what not to do with the mark.

It works small. A good logo is still recognisable as a favicon, on a ute door at 60 km/h, and embroidered on a polo. That means simple shapes, a mark that holds up in one colour, and type you can read at a glance. Trends date fast; a plain, confident logo outlasts a clever one.

Most freelance logo projects take 1 to 3 weeks from brief to final files. Allow longer if you want several directions explored or a full brand identity built around the mark. The biggest delay is usually decision time on your side, so agree up front who signs off.

You can knock up a logo in Canva or with an AI generator in an afternoon, and for testing a business idea that is fine. The catch is originality and files: generated logos often resemble a thousand others, may have murky usage rights, and rarely come as proper vector files. A freelance designer gives you a mark built for your business, full ownership, and files that work everywhere from a business card to a billboard.

The logo is the mark; the brand identity is the full kit built around it: colour palette, fonts, image style and templates for things like social tiles and invoices. If you just need a solid mark to get going, a logo gig is enough. If you are about to roll out signage, packaging or a website, a brand identity gig saves you making those decisions piecemeal later.

You should, outright. Make sure the gig includes full transfer of rights to the final logo and delivery of the editable vector source files, not just PNGs. On Unjumble, write the handover into a stage so the source files and rights transfer are signed off before the final payment is released.

At minimum: vector files (AI, EPS or SVG) of the full-colour, one-colour and reversed (white) versions, plus high-resolution PNGs with transparent backgrounds. Vector files matter because they scale to any size without going blurry; printers and signwriters will ask for them. If you only ever receive a JPEG, the job is not finished.

A freelance logo in Australia typically runs $1,500 to $3,000. Simple wordmarks start from around $500, and a logo plus full brand identity can reach $5,000 or more. Price tracks how many concepts, revision rounds and file deliverables you need.

Hourly rates for this work run about $49 to $164, and the gap is mostly experience. At $49 to $66 you're at junior level, which can be enough for a straightforward wordmark when you already know what you want. The $58 to $115 band is where most logo gigs sit: a designer who'll question the brief, show you two or three real directions, and hand over clean files. Above $123 is a design lead, and what you're buying there is judgement, a mark that still works at 16 pixels and on a sign, and fewer expensive rethinks a year later.

Look for a portfolio with range and ideally a few logos in your industry, check they hand over proper vector files and full ownership, and read their verified reviews on Unjumble. Ask how many concepts and revision rounds the gig includes. A short chat about your business tells you fast whether they get it.

Post a logo design gig in under five minutes. Describe the work, set your budget and timeframe, and choose whether it is time-based or outcome-based. Local freelancers send a bid with a quote, you compare their profiles, portfolios and reviews, then pick the one that fits. Posting is free, so you only pay for the work.

Every gig is split into stages you both agree on up front. You fund each stage before the work starts and it is held securely through Stripe, then released once you sign off. No chasing invoices, and no paying for work that is not done.
