What You Actually Get for a $500 Logo vs a $5,000 Brand Identity

Ever wondered why some logos cost $500 and a full brand identity costs $5,000? In this video I'm breaking down exactly what you get at each price point, the real deliverables from an actual graphic designer.

A $500 logo gets you a pretty mark — but that's where it ends. A $5,000 brand identity is a completely different product. We're talking brand strategy, a full logo suite, a custom color palette, typography system, brand icons, and everything your business needs to show up consistently everywhere.

What I cover:

What's actually included in a $500 logo design
Everything that goes into a $5,000 brand identity package
The difference between a logo and a full brand identity
Why brand strategy is the foundation of every great brand
How color palettes, typography, and custom icons work together to build a cohesive brand

Whether you're a designer figuring out how to price your services or a business owner trying to understand what you're investing in — this video will make it crystal clear.
