When designing a logo for a client. The first phase is having a brief meeting with the client. I present a contract to the client and have them answer questions from the logo design brief to better help me design their logo. Once the client makes a 50% down deposit for me to start the project. I begin the next phase, which is research and sketching. Once I have completed the rough sketches. I then have another meeting with the client. Usually the client will chose one or two rough logo sketches for me to work on. When the client makes their selection. I then begin the third phase which is to do a rough detail sketch of how the actual logo is going to look. I then have another meeting with the client for any necessary changes and then approval. Once the client gives me the green light to continue. I then move on to the final phase, which is to design the final logo using Adobe Illustrator cc. I then have one final meeting with the client to present the final logo. Once the logo is approved. The client pays the remaining balance and I deliver the logo to the client in all the appropriate files.
