Business Overview
Great logos help to build and maintain instant brand recognition and consumer awareness by visually linking the logo to the business, product, or service it represents. If you have a creative flair and artistic abilities, you can put them to good use by starting a logo design service. You will need a computer, digital camera, printer, and design software to get started. But outside of these expenditures, start-up costs are minimal, as are the ongoing fixed overheads to operate the business because you can work from home and the majority of jobs can be serviced using e-mail and fax. Fees for designing logos vary greatly, from as low as $75 to literally thousands. The better known you become for your incredible design work and logos that perfectly describe what they represent, and the more well-known your customers are, the higher your fees will go.
The Market
Market your talents to business owners and professionals, product developers, profit and nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and basically anyone else in need of product, service, or personal branding through repetitive use of logo.
Needed Equipment
