      While working for Primus Pharmaceuticals, the company contracted AtticSalt to rebrand one of our medical food lines. The product itself was known for its safety and efficacy, but the agency felt that the brand's identity didn't quite reflect those traits. We were all shocked by the new proposed look and feel. AtticSalt did an incredible job capturing the essence of the brand and they were a delight to work with. I personally recommend AS to everyone since that project.

      We hired AtticSalt to help us with naming, messaging and branding for our interior design studio. We chose them because we felt they were best equipped to help us create something that stood out from the industry usual. Their team took the time to understand our needs and goals before diving into the design of our identity. We absolutely love how the brand turned out and they did an incredible job capturing our personality. It's the first thing that our new clients complement us on. Totally worth the investment!

      This service is a scam. the amount of back and forth needed to complete a simple ask eats away at all your "design hours". And the quality of work is at a 5th grade level, even with very specific instructions. Even with quality reviews, there were typos and odd object placements... things that dont look good and good designers dont do. They charged my card when they knew i had no intent to renew. If you can use chatgpt, you do not need this service

      Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the InvestmentI was with Design Pickle for over four years, paying around $3,500 per year for what was advertised as a flat-rate design service. Unfortunately, the pricing kept increasing annually, and the value never matched the cost.One of the biggest issues for me was the creative process. I originally signed up because I struggle with generating design ideas—and that’s exactly where this service fell short. You’re expected to know exactly what you want before they’ll produce anything. If you’re stuck creatively, they don’t really guide you or offer much input.Over the years, despite paying thousands, I ended up with very few usable designs. I take responsibility for not using the service more, but that was largely because it just wasn’t helpful or easy to engage with.My advice: skip the subscription model. Find a local designer who will actually collaborate with you and help bring your vision to life. Design Pickle was a waste of time and money.

      Extremely Disappointed! I signed up for design pickle on a plan that supposedly provides 8 hours of daily design support. Over time I noticed productivity dropped so I tried to check the hours worked on my account. I was actually surprised that there was no client facing time tracking or hourly breakdown at all.When I called in to ask my rep told me the hours were "proprietary" and viewing them couldnt be shared. Despit their pricing being based on hours this raised a red flag.later she scheduled another call just to "show" me the hours worked and all she did was share a google doc she wrote up manually. noy system tracking no transparency. completely unprofessional and borderline fraudulent.to make things worse when I first signed in December, I was transitioning from another agency where I had been working. I was taking the same clients with me, which was a greed upon. But design Pickle refused to start my new account until I paid off a $13,000 balance that the previous agency owed them. I wasn't even the account holder yet I had to pay their balance to contunie using the same service with the same clients because "it would look fraudulent in their system" using the same customers that were on another account with a owed balance. I was just starting my bsuiness and had no chouce but to pay to avoid disruption.after all that they still made me pay my own first month's fee short after. I tried to escalate this and explain the situation to management and c-level execs but nobody cared. Eventually I cancelled and honestly I dont regret it!If you are looking for a professional, transparent service, this is not it.

From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and understood our vision. They transformed our old site into a more modern, user-friendly platform that reflects our brand identity.A huge thank you to Tyler, our account manager, and to Luke, our creative project manager.

      We have been working with Youtech for several months now for a website rebuild and paid advertisement management (company is in the home services industry). Youtech's team did a great job working through the website rebuild process in a streamlined way that incorporated a lot of communication with our team, with great channels for providing feedback along the way. Our ongoing relationship with them for PPC/paid ad management has been a big improvement compared to other experiences we've had with similar firms. Before working with Youtech we had issues with lack of transparency around lead tracking, campaign attribution, and never felt that we had a clear handle on how our campaigns were really performing. With Youtech we have a dashboard that summarizes everything, as well as tracking for individual leads, which we have synced up to our CRM so we have real time feedback on how these opportunities are panning out, making it much easier to adjust campaigns in a regular basis. They have also accommodated weekly check-ins which allow us to stay on top of performance, rather than a monthly meeting where we may be making decisions or seeing trends too late in the game. We have seen a big turnaround in our cost per lead and overall paid-ad marketing cost as a result, definitely a win for our company!

      I have had the opportunity to work with Miss Details Design/Tanya on a few things in the past, but most recently, I got to work with her on my own persona passion project/logo - which is very important and close to my heart. From start to finish, it was pure magic. Starting with the initial designs all the way through to the final product, it was clear she understood my vision, valued my time and budget, and was talented in the art of branding/logos. I am totally obsessed with my logo - it is simple and clean, yet unique and identifiable. Each element is versatile and Miss Details created a the logo can easily grow/evolve with my business, while still remaining true to the original design. I can't wait until this new business can afford to hire her again for the whole brand snapshot so we can work with her again. Highly recommend!!

      We recently completed a redesign of our website with Tanya at Miss Details. I cannot speak highly enough of the positive and collaborative experience we had. Tanya is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of marketing and web design, efficiently zeroing in on exactly what we were looking for. We had some deadlines come up with very short notice, and Tanya went above and beyond to make sure everything was ready to go. I do not hesitate at all in recommending Miss Details for any brand, marketing or design projects.

      Tanya and her team are absolutely amazing and I can't recommend them enough! They created our logo, built our beautiful website and helped us create a brand snapshot and brand messaging guide that really helped us to solidify our message and marketing strategy. Tanya also created beautiful Canva templates for our social media posts. The best part is that after Tanya created these beautifully branded messages, she then taught me how to update the website and use Canva myself so that I don't have to reach out to her for every change. She has given me an endless supply of support and inspiration for my business. I will be using Miss Details for many years to come for all of my marketing needs. Tanya is the best asset my business has!

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Graphic Design Companies

How do graphic designers price their projects?

Graphic design firms price projects based on scope, complexity, and the value the work brings to your business. 

Common pricing models include: 

  • Project-based (flat fee): One fixed price for the entire project. Works best when the scope is clear.  
  • Hourly rate: You pay for time spent. Graphic designers use it for ongoing work or projects with changing needs.  
  • Value-based pricing: Cost reflects the business impact of the design, not just time or effort.  
  • Retainer: Ongoing monthly agreement for a set amount of work or support.  
  • Package pricing: Pre-set bundles with defined services, such as branding or social media design. 

How much do graphic design agencies typically charge?

Graphic design companies typically charge between $100 and $150+ per hour, with total costs depending on the type and scope of work. 

For one-time projects, pricing varies widely: 

  • Logo design usually costs between $1,000 to $2,500 
  • Website design ranges from $5,000 to $200,000 
  • Brochures or social assets often fall between $500 and $2,500+ 
  • Packaging design ranges from $300 to $50,000 
  • Full branding projects typically cost $16,000 to $63,000 

For ongoing work, many graphic design companies use monthly retainers: 

  • Basic support starts between $500 and $1,000 
  • Mid-level support ranges from $1,000 and $3,000 
  • More advanced, high-volume design work costs $3,000 to $5,000+ per month 

Specialized design work, such as product or technical design, comes at a higher cost: 

  • Mechanical design projects range from $5,000 to $10,000 
  • Prototyping starts at $2,000 and increases based on complexity 

How many revisions do graphic design projects typically include?

Most graphic design projects include a limited number of revision rounds, usually one to three, built into the original price. 

These revisions include small adjustments, such as tweaking text, colors, or layout details. They help refine the design, not change the concept entirely. 

If you request more rounds or major changes after that, designers typically charge extra, often using their hourly rate. 

What is the typical turnaround time for graphic design firms?

Most graphic design projects take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the type of work and its complexity. 

  • Simple assets, such as social media graphics or ads, are completed in 1 to 6 days.  
  • Print materials such as brochures often take around 5 to 12 days.  
  • Larger projects, such as web or app design, can take up to 6 weeks. 

The timeline also depends on how clear your brief is and how fast you give feedback. Most timelines already include up to three rounds of revisions, so delays usually happen when feedback is slow or the scope keeps changing. 

What file formats do graphic design agencies deliver?

Graphic design firms deliver files in different formats, so you can use the designs across print and digital channels without issues. 

They usually provide two main types of files: 

Vector files (scalable and editable) are used for logos and brand assets because they can be resized without losing quality: 

  • AI: The original working file, fully editable  
  • EPS: Standard format for professional printing  
  • SVG: Used for websites and digital interfaces  
  • PDF: Ready for sharing or printing final designs  

Raster files (pixel-based) are used for photos and digital visuals where exact detail matters: 

  • PNG: High quality with a transparent background  
  • JPG/JPEG: Smaller files, best for web and previews  
  • TIFF: Large, high-quality files for print  

Some projects also include working files, such as PSDs for Photoshop designs or GIFs for simple animations. 

All files are usually organized, so you can easily use them for websites, social media, or print materials without extra adjustments. 

Can you edit the files that graphic design firms deliver?

You can edit graphic design files only if the agency provides editable formats and gives you the right to use them. In most cases, agencies deliver final files that are ready to use but not easy to change. Editable working files are often shared only if agreed upon in advance. 

Files you can edit (if you have the right software): 

  • AI, EPS, SVG: You can edit logos, shapes, and layouts  
  • PSD, INDD: You can edit text, images, and layers  
  • Canva files: You can edit directly in the browser  
  • Editable PDFs: You can make basic text or image changes  

Files that are suitable for use, not editing, include: 

  • JPG, PNG: You cannot change text or layout  
  • Flattened PDFs: Elements are locked into one layer  
  • Outlined text files: Text becomes shapes and cannot be edited 

Graphic design companies limit the availability of editable files for practical reasons. Some assets, like fonts or images, are licensed and cannot be transferred. Working files also reflect the designer’s internal process, so the agency doesn’t always include them. 

If you need full control, you must define that requirement early. Ask for working files or specific formats in the contract. Otherwise, you will need the original graphic designers to make future changes. 

Who owns the copyright: a graphic design agency or a client?

By default, the graphic design agency retains copyright until it transfers it to the client under a contract. 

In most cases, ownership depends on what is agreed upon in writing: 

  • Full ownership transfer: The client gets full copyright and can use, edit, and distribute the design without limits.  
  • License-only: The agency retains copyright, and the client receives permission to use the design under specific terms (e.g., limited use or channels).  
  • Partial rights: The client can use the design, but the agency retains certain rights, including the right to use it in its portfolio.  

Even when ownership is transferred, some elements may still be restricted. Fonts, stock images, or third-party assets often come with their own licenses. 

Without a clear contract, graphic design studios usually retain control, and clients have only limited usage rights.
