How much does a logo cost in the UK?

A clear breakdown of UK logo design prices, what's included, and what small businesses should expect.

Logo design prices in the UK vary enormously — from a free generator to a £10,000 agency rebrand. Most small businesses sit somewhere in the middle. Here is what actually affects the price, and what you should expect to pay.

UK logo design price ranges

Free logo generators AI or template tools — generic results, often no real vector file
£0
Budget marketplace designer Fiverr, PeoplePerHour — variable quality, check file formats carefully
£20–£100
Professional freelance designer Custom work, vector files, revisions, clear ownership
£150–£800
Branding agency Strategy, research, full identity system, stakeholder process
£2,000–£10,000+
HELYI — fixed price 3 concepts, 2 revisions, SVG/PDF/PNG files, delivered in 1–2 weeks
£150

What affects the price?

  • Experience. A junior designer costs less. A senior designer brings more judgement to every decision.
  • Number of concepts. More starting routes means more exploration time.
  • Revision rounds. Unlimited revisions sound generous but often create a slower, messier process.
  • File formats. Professional vector files (SVG, EPS, AI) take more care than a PNG export.
  • Scope. Logo only, or logo plus colour palette, typography, and usage guidelines?
  • Turnaround. Rush work costs more.

What files should be included?

A properly delivered logo should include at minimum:

  • SVG or EPS — scalable vector for print and screen
  • PDF — for sending to printers and suppliers
  • PNG — transparent background for digital use
  • Colour, black, and white (reversed) versions
  • Favicon or simplified icon version where relevant

If a designer only delivers a JPG or PNG, ask for the vector source. Without it, you cannot scale the logo for signage, embroidery, or large-format print without quality loss.

Is £150 enough for a good logo?

Yes — if the designer is experienced and the scope is clear. A well-designed £150 logo from a senior designer will outperform a £20 marketplace job every time.

The risk at the low end is not always the price. It is whether the result is original, well-constructed, and supplied in the right formats for everything you need.

When to spend more

Consider a larger budget when:

  • You need a full brand identity, not just a logo mark
  • You are in a market where visual credibility is a primary sales driver
  • You need a naming strategy alongside the visual identity
  • You are rebranding an established company with existing equity

For most UK small businesses starting out or refreshing, a £150–£400 logo from a professional designer is the right range.

FAQs

Common questions

How much does a basic logo cost in the UK?

A basic logo from a professional freelance designer typically costs between £150 and £500. HELYI offers logo design from £150 — including 3 concepts, 2 revision rounds, and final files in SVG, PDF, and PNG.

Why do some logo designers charge thousands?

Agencies and senior brand consultants charge more because their price includes strategy work, market research, naming, and extensive stakeholder processes. For most small businesses, this level of investment isn't necessary — a skilled designer can deliver a strong, usable logo without the overhead.

What file formats should I receive with my logo?

At minimum: SVG (scalable vector), PDF (for print), and PNG (for digital use). You should also receive variations — full colour, single colour, reversed (white on dark), and a favicon/icon version.

Can I get a logo for under £50?

You can, through platforms like Fiverr or logo generators. But the results are usually generic, may have licensing issues, and rarely hold up in print or at small sizes. If your logo matters to your business, invest in a proper designer.

How long does logo design take?

At HELYI, logo projects are typically delivered within 1–2 weeks. This includes the initial concepts, your feedback, and final revisions. Rush delivery is available if you need it sooner.

Does HELYI's £150 include revisions?

Yes — 2 full revision rounds are included in the price. You'll see 3 initial concepts, pick a direction, and we refine from there.
