How will I receive my finished graphic design or logo design project?

You will receive an AI (Adobe Illustrator vector), EPS (vector), PDF (vector), JPG, PNG (with transparency where applicable). Your finished logo design can be then used to complete stationery and additional brand marketing materials – including letterheads and envelopes design (corporate representation materials), brochure and flyer design, website layout design, graphics for web sites, presentation folders, and just about any other graphic design requirement your business may have.

I’ve seen enough and I’m ready to get started on a new logo design or graphic design project with Alchemy Imageworks. What’s required to get started?

Give us a call at 1-855-571-2200 (or 780-571-2200 if you happen to be local to Edmonton, Alberta), or contact us using the form here  to get started. We will provide a free graphic design estimate based on our initial communication or arrange a follow-up meeting as you prefer. Once an estimate has been agreed upon, 50% of any graphic design project is paid by the client. The project is then booked for research with one of our marketing specialists prior to development (primarily in the case of logo design) and is then assigned to one of our Jedi-level graphic designers or multiple designers most suited to accomplish the desired result.

Do you only provide logo design and graphic design services to Canadian companies?

We provide professional graphic design and logo design services to hundreds of different companies from all over the globe including Europe, Australia, China, Russia and the United States. We have multilingual team-members with excellent customer service skills coupled with WeChat and some of the best active translation software on the planet. Don’t worry, it’s 2017; together we’ll find a way to communicate and realize your vision.

Do you also print materials or produce textile products?

We only print a very specific type of high-end premium business card (see our Business Cards page here for details). All other printing requirements we are happy to arrange through a printer near to the client, or we can provide Vistaprint or other printer-specific output where the client has specified such a requirement.

How much do you charge for professional graphic design services?

Pricing for graphic design work depends on several variables, but you can always rest assured that you’ll be paying for high quality, original work. Our prices are competitive and fair based on the quality of our finished products. Interested potential customers can view some of our graphic design work, including business logo designs in our portfolio. We base our rates at our standard design rate multiplied by time spent, counted in 15-minute increments. If you have small changes to a pre-existing file that takes takes 5 minutes for a quick update, then we charge the minimum amount of $20, and we are extremely efficient. We can complete website edits and image updates quickly, as well as produce some incredibly original and highly-marketable finished products in rapid fashion thanks to the skill and experience of our graphic designers and digital artists.

What level of client involvement is there during the design process.

The client has whatever level of involvement they choose; not involved in any part of the process until layout reviews begin, or involved every step of the way either by themselves or as part of a larger team, or somewhere in-between. Generally-speaking, our team likes to keep our clients fully involved in the graphic design process to ensure an accurate finished product. In any case, clients are also asked to review and approve various drafts or the layout or graphic elements throughout the design process, so that they are always aware of the progress that is being made on the project. We encourage all of our clients to bring in any samples, colour preferences, swatches, and ideas they may have. Being entrepreneurs ourselves, we’re also incredibly adept at translating sketches on napkins.

How much do you charge for a logo?

We get asked this quite a bit, as you can imagine. There are too many variables to narrow down a fixed cost but many of our standard simple-to-medium-complexity projects typically fall between $500-$1400. We take great pride in applying a serious degree of market and competition research during our logo design process to ensure the finished product is original, incredibly competitive in a specific clients’ niche, and stands out from the crowd while capturing the clients vision perfectly. The level of detail provided for a logo design project during the initial meeting, as well as the level of client-side involvement and communication throughout the design and brand development process can also increase costs due to the additional time involved in meetings, feedback, edits and review processes.

 

That being said; our team is experienced, and we’re very efficient. So, while we have a fondness for research and preparation where logo design is concerned, our team is also very capable of crafting some seriously professional, unique and visually awe-inspiring designs in a shorter timespan for projects where required. We understand that some entrepreneurs have visions and products they need realized digitally, quickly, so that they can capture the vision for their intended audience while certain markets are hot or exact timing required, so if you need graphics or project branding completed ‘on-demand’, give us a call. There is an excellent chance our enthusiastic team of digital alchemists will work late or on weekends to accomplish what you need in the time you need it completed. We love what we do, and we love doing a ton of it, so please don’t be shy about asking for on-demand service or inquiring for more information about our retainer rates for extended projects.
