On FreelanceLocals the median starting price is R800 per deliverable, from 25 listings priced that way (October 2026). Half of those listings start between R500 and R1,500. Nationwide the median is R1,000 per deliverable. Because 31 listings come from only 15 freelancers, the median reflects listings, not individual designers, and a designer with several packages counts more than once. Freelancers set their own prices, so compare several and ask what is included.
Browse the listings and contact designers directly, or post a free brief with your business name, style references and deadline. Durban's pool is small, and logo files are delivered digitally, so you can also consider designers from other cities if you want more choice.
Ask for the logo in vector format plus PNG versions for screens and print, and for a colour and black-and-white version. Confirm in writing that you own the final artwork, and whether source files and unused concepts are included.
It depends on the scope and how quickly you give feedback. With a small pool of designers, availability can vary, so ask when each one can start and agree dates for first concepts, revisions and final delivery.
No. Designers describe their own experience and skills. Study their portfolios for logos like the one you need, ask previous clients for references, and agree the scope, revisions and ownership of the files in writing before you pay a deposit.
