Short answer: Budget for the smallest scope that solves your next six months of needs. A new single-channel shop may need a clean logo and source files. A shop selling across packaging, social media and wholesale usually needs a complete identity system.
Three scopes buyers often confuse
| Scope | Usually includes | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Logo only | Primary logo, basic color versions, export files | Validating a first product or refreshing an existing mark |
| Compact identity | Logo suite, palette, typography, social avatar and simple usage sheet | Launching a shop that needs visual consistency |
| Brand system | Strategy, full identity, image direction, templates, detailed guidelines | Multi-channel brands, packaging and teams |
Marketplace prices vary by experience, process, package and add-ons. Fiverr's live category currently contains a very wide range of offers, so treat the displayed starting price as an entry point—not a complete project quote. Review the current logo design category before setting a final budget.

Revision structure
