Need a company logo designed

Tech Overhaul

My wife is starting her own little business. Its only part time. She would like a logo designed but can't afford to pay a graphic designer yet. Can anybody here be interested in helping? The type of business is to do with Health and Safety.

Thanks

Most designers charge thousands. Can you afford around 200?

If so PM me and I will put you in touch with a guy who did one for me some years ago. He is very good but more importantly very cheap.

well as a designer (not pitching for this btw, too busy at the minute) i'd tell your wife to think more carefully about her company image. Other than her own first impressions to her customer, your logo, stationary, brand basically is incredibly important and imo worth investing in. A proper logo will generally cost somewhere in and around 1500 euro upwards, and usually take about a month to complete, remember this is an image that hopefully will represent your business for many years to come. It may sound like a lot of money, but its not really when you think about it, there has to be a lot of liasing between client & designer to get it just right.
and for the post above... pay peanuts and you'll get monkeys.
how is cheap more important that good?

yeah yeah but you can get it done cheaper. Not every designer is attached to a large company. some work from home with reduced over heads.

i dont work for a large company, i work for my own company, and tbh 1500 is the least i could afford to do it. If you have done this type of work well before, you would know that. design is not something that should be considered on price alone! but you'll learn the hard way

Exactly. A logo is a lot more than a pretty picture.

Still, it's hardly for a large company.
