About
My logo design process is collaborative, intentional, and built around creating a brand identity that will serve your business for years to come.
Logo design projects start at **$550**. Every logo is thoughtfully developed and presented in a custom Brand Presentation that explains the concept, symbolism, typography, color choices, and design decisions behind the work—so you understand not only what was created, but why it works for your brand.
I take pride in creating a great client experience from beginning to end. That means clear communication, thoughtful guidance, professional presentation, and making sure you feel confident about the direction of your brand throughout the process. I also value building ongoing relationships with my clients, and many return when they need additional design support as their businesses grow. My goal is to become a trusted creative resource you can rely on beyond the initial logo project.
Once your project is complete and final payment has been made, **you own your logo**. My goal is to make sure you have everything you need to use it confidently moving forward. Final logo packages include a variety of professional file formats for print, digital, social media, signage, apparel, and other applications. I also provide appropriate color variations and alternate versions that I anticipate you may need in the future, along with any specific file types or formats you request whenever possible.
My clients trust me to create distinctive, lasting identities—not simply a logo that looks good today, but one that is prepared to grow with their business.

After two unsuccessful attempts to find the right logo designer, we were fortunate to find Marcus. From the start, he was responsive, professional, and clear about the process and expectations. His turnaround time was impressively quick, and the quality of his work exceeded our expectations.Marcus created a beautiful, professional logo that perfectly captured what we were looking for. He listened to our needs and delivered a design that truly represents our business. We couldn't be happier with the result and highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality design work.

Finding the right logo designer can be a bit like searching for a needle in a haystack, so I am thrilled I could be the solution for you! Your kind words about the logo capturing your vision mean a lot, and I’m excited to see how it represents your business.

Marcus was absolutely great to work with. He took what was a very generalized concept on my part and turned it into something real. He was willing to work with me on revisions and even gave me a few more formats than we had originally laid out. He was incredibly responsive to questions and concerns I had, and made the whole process a breeze. He also exceeded my expectations on the timeline and made sure I had what I had asked for and more. I highly recommend Marcus for any graphicdesign work you need!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For smaller projects, I have a list of flat-rate pricing. Larger projects are usually quoted at an hourly rate. I will try to estimate how many hours before the start of the project, if possible. I make this determination on a case-by-case basis.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get as much information about the project and its purpose as possible. I also like the client to have a clear, concise understanding of the process, the fees, and the timeframe. I prefer to start with a discovery call, and then we can have further communications via email. I set reasonable goals after I've obtained any logos, photos, or copy from the client. I may ask a lot of questions depending on the scope of the project. I believe good communication is key when working with a client.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a certification in commercial arts. I have an associates in applied science with a concentration in advertising, Then I acquired another associate in applied science for graphic design. I do continued training on software and study the latest design trends and marketing strategies. I have over 30 years of experience.
