How much does branding cost for a small business?

Cost follows the list of pieces, not a loose logo price: mark, palette, type and usage sheet is one job, and menu, sign and uniform are another. Without seeing the door and that list, a flat figure cannot be compared. Write what has to be remade before the season and what can wait. Ask for the scope in writing with those pieces, not a “brand pack” with nothing named inside. A marketplace PNG is compared with a system that includes the menu and the sign, and the cheap one wins. Two months later it is paid for again because the printer cannot use the file.

WhatsApp carries the scope with this venue's pieces and what stays out. The figure sits on that list; a generic rate that ignores the sign is not a quote.
