They co-create along with you to make your vision a reality. They’re smart and they make the process fun. You'll enjoy working with them.

      On both a professional and personal level, Sidekick exceeded and continues to exceed expectations. As the marketing director for a local business, we needed a creative team that could take our team to the next level. Not only did they accomplish that, but they did it quickly and professionally. It's been refreshing after over a decade in marketing, working with all varieties of creative agencies to find a group of people who are not only capable of executing what they promise but also genuinely incredible, wonderful human beings. Thank you, Sidekick! My team and I are excited to continue working together for years.

      Bryan is the consummate, meticulous, perfectionist, whose exceptional web designs speak for themselves. Furthermore, his very timely communications, usually focused on updates on the webpage, are detailed beyond expectations. Plus, he's a fantastic listener, very aware of customer needs. In all, I couldn't possibly be more impressed with Bryan Sullivan.

      I love working with Bryan, AKA Sully, and have for years. I've recommended him to others and they have had the same great experience. I recommend him to you! He is creative, has a great eye for detail, excellent technical expertise, and is great with idea exchange and collaboration. Working with him is a joy as we communicate on a human level--no stuffed shirts or stiff blouses here! Count yourself lucky you have found Sullivan Design, LLC.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
