The costs of creating or acquiring logos and trademarks are famously erratic - the quoted costs range from hundreds of millions of dollars all the way to zero.

It's not just because ad agencies milk their clients either.

Hey Art,

You're right. I might not have guessed. Except it seems to me I've seen at least some of these somewhere before. The main takeaway, I think, is that there's often little correlation between the expense of a logo and its effectiveness in projecting the brand.

Hi Heather,

Yeah, it was tough looking for logos/trademarks that hadn't had their costs quoted in other places before. I suppose few companies would readily disclose how much they paid their designs.

In any case, I feel the costs are justified or at least understandable in most of the cases the group paid a bundle for their designs.

What a lot of laypersons fail to understand is that logos and trademarks don't - or at least shouldn't - exist in a vacuum, and when a whole new identity is created as part of a rebrand, it can be impossible to pin down the true cost of a design against every other part of the marketing plan.

Thanks for reading Heather!
