What to Expect When You Hire a Professional Logo Designer

Hiring a professional logo designer is an exciting step toward building a powerful brand. But if it’s your first time, you might wonder—what exactly happens after you say, “Let’s start”?

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the typical logo design process, what to expect at each stage, and why working with a professional makes all the difference.

1. Initial Consultation or Inquiry

It starts with a conversation. This could be through a contact form, email, or a quick discovery call.

You’ll typically be asked:

  • What your business does

  • Who your target audience is

  • Your preferences in style, color, and tone

  • Whether you have an existing logo or branding

Pro tip: Be as detailed and honest as possible. This helps the designer understand your vision and business goals.


 

2. Design Brief & Onboarding

Once you’re ready to move forward, the designer will collect more detailed information to guide the creative process.

You may receive:

  • A questionnaire or onboarding form

  • A summary of deliverables and timeline

  • A pricing agreement and payment structure

At LogoFarmer’s Studio, we usually ask for a 50% deposit before the work begins, followed by a structured questionnaire to understand your brand in depth.


 

3. Research & Discovery

Before sketching anything, a professional designer researches:

  • Your industry and competitors

  • Design trends and brand positioning

  • Color psychology and typography styles that match your goals

This step ensures your logo won’t just look good—but will also make strategic business sense.

4. Sketching & Concept Development

Now comes the creative magic. The designer starts sketching out concepts based on all the information gathered.

You can expect:

  • 2–4 initial logo concepts (depending on your package)

  • Unique, original designs (not templates or clipart)

  • Rationales explaining each direction

5. Presentation & Feedback

The designer will present the logo options—often in mockups to help you visualize how the logos look in real-life scenarios.

You’ll then:

  • Review the concepts

  • Choose your favorite direction

  • Share your feedback for refinement

Most professional designers include 2–3 rounds of revision to make sure the final logo is perfect for your brand.

6. Finalization & Delivery

Once the logo is finalized, you’ll receive a complete file package, which often includes:

  • Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF)

  • Web files (PNG, JPG, SVG)

  • Black, white, and full-color versions

  • Brand guideline PDF (optional, but highly recommended)

At LogoFarmer’s Studio, we ensure your logo is ready to use everywhere—from websites to business cards and packaging.
