Who it's for
Graphic designers and studios billing for logos, branding, revision rounds, and licensing, who need to make clear that source files are released only after final payment.
Frequently asked questions
How do graphic designers invoice?
List each deliverable (logo, brand guide, web assets) as its own line, plus any revision rounds beyond what's included, and any licensing. State that source files are released after final payment. This tool pre-fills those lines for you.
Should designers charge for revisions?
Include a set number of revision rounds in your fee (two is common) and bill extra rounds as a separate line. This prevents endless free tweaks and is clearly itemized here.
Do I keep the rights until I'm paid?
It's standard to release final source files and transfer usage rights only after full payment. Putting that on the invoice protects your work.
How many revision rounds should I include?
Two is the common standard, and the number matters less than stating it. Unlimited revisions is how design projects quietly turn into unpaid work, because there is no natural point at which the job is finished. Include a set number in your fee, define what counts as a round (one consolidated set of feedback, not individual comments trickling in over a week), and bill additional rounds as a separate line item. Clients rarely object to this. What causes friction is discovering a revision charge that was never mentioned, so put the included number on the quote and repeat it on the invoice.
When should I hand over source files?
After final payment, and say so on the invoice. Source files are the most valuable thing you produce, since they let anyone edit the work without you. Releasing them before you are paid removes your only real leverage. Deliver flattened previews or watermarked proofs during the project, then release editable files once the balance clears. State this in the quote so it is understood from the start. Clients who need working files urgently will simply pay faster, which is precisely the outcome you want, rather than treating your final invoice as optional.
How do I price a logo versus a full brand identity?
Price them as separate deliverables, because they involve very different amounts of work. A logo is one mark. A brand identity typically covers the logo plus color, typography, usage rules, and application across materials, which is a substantially larger project. Listing them as separate lines on the quote and invoice lets the client see what they are actually buying and makes it easy for them to add the brand guide later. It also protects you from the common situation where a logo fee is quietly expected to cover an entire identity system.
Should I charge for the initial concepts?
If you present multiple directions, that work has value whether or not the client proceeds. Many designers handle this with a paid discovery or concept phase, billed separately from execution. It filters out clients who are shopping for free ideas, and it means an abandoned project still covers your time. Speculative work, where you produce concepts unpaid in the hope of winning the job, is worth avoiding for the same reason no other profession does it. If a client wants to see thinking before committing, charge a smaller fee for that phase rather than working for nothing.
What file formats should I deliver?
Agree this before the project starts, because it is a surprisingly common source of late friction. A logo typically needs vector formats for print and scaling plus raster exports for web and social use, and clients rarely know which they need. Listing the deliverable formats on the quote and invoice sets the expectation and prevents an open-ended stream of requests for one more size afterwards. If a client later needs formats outside the agreed set, that is a reasonable small billable item rather than something you are obliged to supply indefinitely for free.
