In Ahmedabad, a logo from a professional studio typically costs Rs 8,000 to 35,000, and a brand identity with stationery, templates and guidelines usually starts from about Rs 40,000. Full branding with packaging, signage and website design is quoted by scope. With us, a logo takes 7 to 14 working days and an identity 3 to 5 weeks.
Branding prices in Ahmedabad range from Rs 500 to several lakh, because the term covers very different jobs. We design logos and identities at our office in Satellite.
Logo, brand identity or full branding: what you are paying for
A logo with us includes three concepts, two revision rounds, a full file pack (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PNG and JPG), colour codes for print and screen, and a one-page brand sheet. For a new business, this is usually enough.
A brand identity adds a colour palette with usage notes, fonts (with Gujarati or Hindi pairings if needed), stationery, an email signature, an invoice template, social media templates and a 10 to 20 page guideline PDF. It lets others produce material in your name consistently.
Full branding adds positioning, sometimes naming, packaging, signage artwork and website design. A food product with ten SKUs or a showroom on SG Highway typically needs this level.
How much does each level cost?
These are our own figures; other studios in the city price differently.
| Level | What is included | Typical price with us | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logo only | 3 concepts, 2 revision rounds, full file pack, colour codes, one-page brand sheet | Rs 8,000 to 35,000 | 7 to 14 working days |
| Brand identity | Logo plus palette, fonts, stationery, social templates and a 10 to 20 page guideline PDF | Usually from Rs 40,000, depending on items | 3 to 5 weeks |
| Full branding | Identity plus positioning, packaging, signage artwork and website look and feel | Quoted after a call | Set in the quote once scope is agreed |
Full branding has no fixed price because packaging can mean one sticker or forty cartons. Our logo design page details each package.
What changes the logo design cost in Ahmedabad?
Research and drawing time. A clean wordmark sits near the bottom of our range, and the price rises with:
- a mascot or illustrated character
- custom-drawn letters in place of an existing font
- Gujarati or Hindi script alongside English, which often needs hand-drawn conjunct letters
- crowded categories such as pharma or food, where similarity checks take longer
A Rs 500 logo is usually a template icon with the name typed underneath, supplied as a JPG, with no vector file for signage. Lakh-plus quotes from Mumbai studios often include strategy work a small startup does not yet need.
Freelancer, agency or contest site: which is cheaper over time?
An agency costs more than a freelancer or contest site but provides a defined process and proper paperwork.
| Logo contest site | Freelancer | Agency like ours | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | Rs 5,000 to 25,000 prize | Rs 1,500 to 20,000 | Rs 8,000 to 35,000 |
| Research into your market | Rarely | Depends on the person | Part of the process |
| Originality | Entries sometimes reuse stock icons | Varies | Similarity check before final |
| Files you get | Often a PNG and perhaps one vector | Varies | Full vector pack and colour codes |
| Copyright in writing | Platform terms | Often nothing written | Written assignment on final payment |
| Available next year | Designer may have moved on | Possibly | Same team, files on record |
A freelancer with a strong portfolio and a written contract is a sensible choice. Our advantage is continuity: the team that designs your logo also builds your website and social posts.
Hidden costs after the design is done
Trademark filing. A trademark attorney charges a professional fee plus the government filing fee. We supply a basic check of public records and artwork formatted for the application.
Printing. Metallic inks, special papers, odd box sizes and minimum quantities add cost. Approve a printed proof before every full run.
Signage. Often the largest single cost for a shop. The board, lighting and fitting are billed by the signage vendor.
Photography. Product, team and shopfront photos for Google Business Profile need a planned shoot.
Ongoing work. Your social media needs to follow the guidelines, and software products need matching UI/UX design. Reprints after a late change, such as 5,000 cartons, are an avoidable cost.
How long does branding take?
A logo takes 7 to 14 working days with us, and a full identity 3 to 5 weeks, as stationery follows the final logo. Full branding is scheduled in the quote.
Questions to ask a branding agency in Ahmedabad before hiring
- How many concepts and revision rounds are included? Three concepts with two rounds is a sensible standard.
- Which files are delivered? Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) are needed, not only a PNG.
- Is a written copyright assignment provided? In India the designer is usually the first owner of a commissioned logo unless rights are assigned in writing.
- Is there a similarity check in the category before final delivery?
- Are concepts shown on mockups such as a visiting card, shop board and Instagram grid?
- Is Gujarati or Hindi lettering available?
- What would a second phase, such as packaging, cost later?
Is full branding worth paying for in year one?
Often not. Early on, a well-made logo is enough to look credible on a card, a board and a WhatsApp profile. Guidelines become valuable once printers, a sales team or a franchisee produce material in your name. Many clients add the identity a year later, at lower cost because the groundwork is done.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a logo cost in Ahmedabad?+
With us, Rs 8,000 to 35,000, including three concepts, two revision rounds and the full file pack. The price depends mainly on research time, custom lettering and Gujarati or Hindi script.
How much does a branding agency charge for a full brand identity?+
Our identity packages usually start from about Rs 40,000, covering the logo, palette, fonts, stationery, social templates and a guideline PDF. Full branding with packaging and signage is quoted after a call.
Is trademark registration included in the branding cost?+
No. Filing is legal work for a trademark attorney, who charges a fee plus the government fee. We handle the design side and can introduce an attorney.
Why do some designers charge only Rs 500 for a logo?+
It is usually a template icon with the name typed in, delivered as a single JPG with no vector file. For a business that will need signage and a trademark, it often costs more later.
Can I start with just a logo and add branding later?+
Yes, and we recommend it for most new businesses. Add stationery, templates and guidelines when you open a showroom, print packaging or hire staff.
Will I own the logo and the source files?+
Yes. On final payment we sign a written copyright assignment and hand over the editable source files. Unused concepts are not resold.
Do you design packaging and signage as well?+
Yes. Our graphic team designs boxes, labels, brochures and shop boards using your set fonts and colours. Printing and fabrication are billed by your vendors.
