Graphic Design in Arayat

Fixed price for a defined deliverable (a logo, a brochure) protects both sides; hourly suits open-ended or ongoing work. Standard structure is a 30-50% deposit with the balance on delivery — never pay 100% up front for creative work you haven't seen.

An itemized quote lists: the specific deliverables and formats, number of initial concepts, revision rounds, copyright/source-file handover, and any stock-asset or font-licensing costs. Vague 'design work' quotes with one number are impossible to compare and hide scope disputes.

A logo is one mark; a brand identity is the whole system — logo variations, colour palette, typography, and usage guidelines that keep everything consistent. If you only ever need one graphic, buy a logo. If you'll produce ongoing materials, the identity package pays for itself by keeping every future asset on-brand.

Two to three revision rounds per deliverable is the industry standard, stated in the brief or contract. 'Unlimited revisions' sounds generous but signals weak process and projects that stall. Consolidate all your feedback into each round rather than drip-feeding, and you'll get a better result faster.

You should — insist the contract transfers copyright on final payment and that you receive the editable source files (AI, PSD, Figma), not just flattened JPEGs. Font licensing can be separate. Designer-retained source files are the most common lock-in trap: without them, every future edit routes back through the original designer.

Local freelancers typically charge PHP 400-1,800/hr, with logos commonly PHP 3,000-20,000 and brand-identity packages PHP 20,000-100,000+. Designers who mainly serve overseas clients quote at the upper end.
