- Potential earnings
- £150-300 for logo-only work, £400-800 for a full identity package. The package is where the living is.
Use AI to explore logo concepts fast, then package them with typography, a colour palette, social templates and a mini brand guide into a complete starter identity for new businesses.
Why it works
A logo on its own is a saturated race to the bottom - AI made logo generation nearly free, and buyers know it. What small businesses will still pay for is the full kit: a logo plus the colours, fonts and templates that make everything they publish look consistent. The package is the product; the logo is just the front door.
The catch
Standalone AI logos are now a commodity - if a client only wants a logo, they can get one nearly free, and plenty will say so. This only works as a package business with real typography and layout skill on top of the AI.
Step by step
- Master one image tool for concept exploration (Midjourney or Looka) and one layout tool (Canva)
- Build a fixed package: 3 logo concepts, colour palette, two fonts, 5 social templates, one-page brand guide
- Add the typography yourself - AI still handles lettering badly, and this is the part clients can see you did yourself
- Create 3 sample identities for imaginary businesses as your portfolio
- Be transparent about AI use in your listings - it filters out bad-fit clients early
- Specialise in refresh projects for existing businesses; they are easier sales than startups
Tools you'll use
- Midjourney or Looka
- Canva
- Vectorizer.ai
- Photopea
Chuck's pro tip
Show every concept on mockups (business cards, shopfronts, Instagram grids) so clients can see it living in the world. Upsell a printed brand guide. Never compete with £15 logo gigs on price; compete on the finished kit.
