Leave a Lasting Impression

Logo design costs in Ireland typically range from a few hundred euros for a basic design to €1,000 or more for a professionally crafted logo with multiple concepts and revisions. We’ll give you a clear, transparent quote after your free consultation. We believe you should know exactly what you’re paying for.

Most logo design projects take between one and two weeks from brief to final delivery. More complex projects may take a little longer, but we’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront.

We typically present three distinct logo concepts for you to review. From there, we refine your preferred direction through a collaborative feedback process.

Absolutely. Sometimes a logo just needs a refresh rather than a full replacement. For example, modernising the typography, refining the icon, or updating the colour palette. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your current logo needs during your free consultation.

Your logo is a single element of your overall brand identity. A full brand identity also includes your colour palette, typography, tone of voice, and brand guidelines. If you’d like to explore the full picture, take a look at our Branding page.

Absolutely. Getting your logo and brand identity sorted before your website build saves a significant amount of time and back-and-forth. Your website will be designed around your brand, ensuring everything looks consistent from day one. Find out more on our Website Design page.

AI logo generators can produce something quickly and cheaply, but there are real limitations worth understanding before you go down that route. The logos they produce are built from templates and stock icon libraries, which means your logo could look very similar to thousands of others.

They also can’t ask you questions, understand your market, or make strategic decisions about what will resonate with your audience.

A professionally designed logo is created with your business, your customers and your long-term goals in mind. It’s an investment that pays for itself every time a potential client forms their first impression of you.

A vector logo is built from mathematical paths rather than pixels, which means it can be scaled to any size without ever losing quality or becoming blurry. This is essential for print work like signage, vehicle graphics, and exhibition stands.

Most professional logo designers, including our team, deliver your final logo as a vector file as standard.

If you’ve ever been told by a printer that your logo file isn’t high enough resolution, the chances are you don’t have a vector file. (That’s something we can fix!)

In short, yes. Your logo appears on everything, your website, social media, signage, packaging, invoices. It’s one of your most visible business elements. A poorly designed logo signals to potential customers that quality and attention to detail aren’t priorities for you, even if that couldn’t be further from the truth!

A professionally designed logo, on the other hand, builds immediate trust and credibility. For most businesses, it’s one of the best value investments they’ll make.

Yes and the earlier the better. Getting a professional logo in place from day one means you start building brand recognition immediately, rather than having to update everything later when you’ve already printed business cards, built a website, and established a social media presence. It also forces a valuable early conversation about who your business is, who your customers are, and how you want to be perceived. Starting with a strong logo is one of the smartest things a new business in Ireland can do.

Yes, you can trademark your logo in Ireland through the Intellectual Property Office of Ireland (IPOI). A trademark gives you the exclusive right to use your logo in connection with your goods or services and provides legal protection if anyone tries to copy or imitate it.

Before applying, it’s worth making sure your logo is sufficiently unique and doesn’t infringe on any existing trademarks.

We’d always recommend speaking to an intellectual property solicitor before filing.

What we can tell you is that every logo we design is created from scratch and is uniquely yours, a solid foundation for any future trademark application.

There are a few things worth checking before you commit. First, look at their portfolio. Does their previous work show range, quality and an understanding of different industries?

Second, ask about their process. A good designer will want to learn about your business before they start designing, not just jump straight into visuals.

Third, make sure you’ll receive full ownership of the final files, including vector formats.

Fourth, check that they’re easy to communicate with and responsive. You’ll be working closely with them throughout the project.

And finally, consider choosing a local designer who understands the Irish market. We’ve been designing logos for businesses across Ireland for over 20 years and we’d love to show you what we can do for your business.
