Find logo design gigs in Melbourne

Logo designers on Unjumble typically charge $55 to $110 an hour. A focused logo gig usually lands at $800 to $2,500, and a full brand identity (logo, colour, type, guidelines) runs $2,500 to $8,000. Identity work is where the money is: one good logo client often turns into the business card, the socials kit and the website brief.

New businesses needing their first logo are the steady stream, especially trades, hospitality and local services in Melbourne. After that it is rebrands of dated logos, full identity systems for businesses that have outgrown a Canva job, and packaging or signage rollouts that need the brand applied properly.

Outcome-based works best for logos: a fixed price for an agreed number of concepts and revision rounds. Two to three concepts and two rounds is the common shape; price extra rounds so scope creep pays you rather than burning you. Quote the identity extras (guidelines, stationery, social kit) as separate stages so the client can add them without renegotiating the lot.

Illustrator or Figma for the work (Affinity Designer is fine too), and a handover that includes SVG, PNG and print-ready files, the editable source, and a one-page mini guide. The handover is what gets you the five-star review; a logo that arrives as a single JPEG is what gets you the awkward chat. Spell out the deliverables in your bid.

A portfolio where the brands look distinct from each other, that is the strongest signal you design for the client and not for your own style. Niche familiarity helps (cafes pick designers who have done cafes), and so does a bid that mentions something specific about their business. Reviews carry the rest once you have a few gigs done.

New freelancers get a fair go in our ranking and a Just joined call-out, so you are visible from day one. Lead with your three strongest identities, write each bid to the brief, and consider pricing your first couple of gigs keenly (not cheaply) to bank reviews. After that your past work does the bidding for you.

Every gig is split into stages agreed up front. The business funds each stage before you start, the money is held securely through Stripe, and it is released when the stage is signed off, concepts, refinement, final files. The final handover stage protects both sides.
