I hope this is the right place to ask this.

I was wondering what the average cost artists charge in regards to creating company and game logos? Something to ballpark would be two (game and company) icons / logos (512x512), about 4 banners (large and medium)? Mostly just the kind of work related to marketing and promotional materials?

I am just trying to guage costs for a project of mine, and this is my first time looking to hire or source work.

It's hard to give an "average". The cost will vary widely depending on the quality and detail you want and who you hire. A logo design could be anywhere from $10 to $10000⁺. But, assuming you want something pretty cheap, you could figure on $100-500 per piece. The cost for the banners may also depend on complexity - 10 characters take a lot longer to paint than 1 character and some clouds. It helps if you have a clear idea what you want. If you have no idea, you'll have to go through several iterations with the artist, and you will either pay significantly more for that, or your artist will hate you. Or, if you don't much care what you get, you just need something _{(random app-store knock-off?)}, that makes it easier/cheaper.

Thank you so much for the feedback. Definitely not some random app store knockoff  . It seems that "it depends on what you want and the artists skill" is the answer I get everywhere else as well.

I more or less want to make sure, that when the times comes, I am offering or receiving fair estimates for works.

THANK YOU AGAIN, good person!
