Logo Design Contract Template

Logo projects stall in endless revisions or blow up when the client finds out the 'logo' they approved was never checked for trademark conflicts. This template sets the number of initial concepts and revision rounds, the final file package (vector, PNG, color variations), transfer of copyright on full payment, what happens to unused concepts, and a clear note that trademark searches and registration are the client's responsibility.

Design Process

The Sender will design a logo as described in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration, starting with the agreed number of initial concepts. The Client selects one direction to refine through the revision rounds below. Unselected concepts remain the property of the Sender.

Final Files

The final logo is delivered by October 24, 2026 as vector files (SVG, EPS or PDF) and raster files (PNG, JPG) in full color, one color, and reversed versions, plus a simple one-page usage sheet with colors and fonts.

Copyright & Trademark

On full payment, the Sender assigns to the Client all copyright in the final logo. The Sender creates original work and does not knowingly copy existing marks, but does not perform legal trademark searches. The Client is responsible for trademark clearance and registration before using the logo commercially.

Payment Terms

The total fee for this engagement is $2,400.00.

A deposit of $720.00 is due before work begins. The remaining balance is due upon completion and delivery of the final work, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Invoices are payable within 7 days of receipt. Late payments may accrue a 1.5% monthly late fee, and work may be paused until outstanding balances are settled.

Revisions

This engagement includes 2 rounds of revisions on the agreed deliverables. Additional revision rounds, or changes that materially expand the scope described in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration, will be quoted separately and require written approval before work begins.

Revision requests should be consolidated and submitted together where possible, to keep the project on schedule.

Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business, technical, or financial information shared during this engagement, and to use it only for the purpose of completing the work described in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration.

This obligation survives the completion or termination of this agreement and continues for 2 years afterward.

Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement with 14 days' written notice. If the Client terminates before completion, the Sender will be paid for all work completed up to the termination date, and the deposit is non-refundable.

If the Sender terminates, any portion of the deposit exceeding the value of work already completed will be refunded to the Client within 14 days.

Limitation of Liability

The Sender's total liability under this agreement is limited to the total fees paid by the Client. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from this engagement.

Independent Contractor Relationship

The Sender is engaged as an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent of the Client. The Sender is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and benefits, and is free to accept other engagements during the term of this agreement, provided they do not conflict with the confidentiality obligations above.
