Why are logos so expensive?
A Logo is a one-time purchase that serves your business for many years.
The added benefit of your logo being on all merchandise from here on will increase its worth and before you know it, people could pay you thousands if not millions to feature your logo on their products one day. – wouldn’t that be awesome?!
We don’t know what the future holds, your business may become a multimillion-rand company or like some small businesses fail after 3 years. But does this mean the designer should be short-paid?
There was a story that went around stating the person that designed the Nike logo in the early 70swas only paid a couple of dollars. The logo is now worth billions – the story goes on to say the designer was never compensated properly for this high-valued design.
Turns out, she initially charged them $35 for the 17 hours of work and they later gave her shares in the business worth a million dollars!

Here’s the original sketch as well. So interesting.
