The cost of your project depends, of course, on its scope. On our Store Application you can see the base prices for most of our services. For most of them is indicated what is included within the price, so time and material. Of course the final cost of the project might vary depending on many factors and for this reason we ask you to contact us for a detailed estimate.
At the beginning of every project we create a reserved area, on our Project Management Application, containing all information. You will receive credentials (username and password) for accessing that project area.
There will be a page where we will share all files. This allows us to avoid using email to send files which might include protected information.
At the beginning of every project we create a reserved area, on our Project Management Application, containing all information. You will receive credentials (username and password) for accessing that project area.
There will be a page where will be listed all so-called „Issues“. Every issue contains a request and all issues together constitute your project.
During the course of the project the issues will be created, developed, tested and – once request is full-filled – closed. Watching the status of the issues will indicate the progress status of the project.
There is also a page called „Activity“, where you can see what has been done, by whom and how long it took.
Yes.
If your project is one of the services, which are part of our Store Application, then we will indicate the correct product-link and you will pay directly there.
If your project requirements are not part of our Store Application then we will send we will agree on ad-hoc payment procedure.
Immediately after we will start working on your project.
Yes.
We work with clients worldwide. We have the tools and the methodologies to work with you even if we are very far. We can collaborate on your project as if we were sitting at the same table.
Even if you are in Zurich, Switzerland, where we are based.
How fast do you need it? We can move as quickly as you need us to but typically once we get started, you should get the initial design concept anywhere from 2 to 5 days.
Every project is different but the main things we usually need are: Your logo (if you have one), text and content needed during the project.
Any other material needed will be discussed and identified by the Project Manager on a project by project basis.
We will also point you to a specific page on our Store to pay for our services. After payment the project will start.
No, not directly.
But we do have recommended printing partners that we might suggest you. We only recommend printing services (and other partners) who we’ve found to deliver professional, high-quality and relatively economical results each and every time.
We can support you delivering to the Printing service your material in the format they expect. The printed material will then directly billed and sent directly to you.
No.
All our designers are in-house and available to you through our Project Management Application.
Yes.
Many of our projects are undertaken for large corporations who plan product and company launches months, even years, in advance. In order to work on their projects, Netfe may need access to proprietary information which our clients wish to keep as trade secrets. Accordingly, when we’re asked, we’re more than happy to sign client-supplied non-disclosure agreements or similar contracts.
Before contracting any designer (we hope it’s us) to create your new logo, you should have an idea of the image you want to portray. Think along the lines of funky. Cutting edge, Conservative. The ‘buzz’ words of business. You should think about whether you want an illustrative logo (a logo that includes an illustrative representation of what your company does,) an iconic logo (a logo that includes a graphic – or abstract – representation of what your company does,) a typographic logo (a dynamic fonttreatment that is unique to your company,) a graphic logo (an illustrative/iconic hybrid) or a combination of all three. You can filter and sort examples of all three logo types in our logo design gallery.
You should also consider the future usage of your logo as this can determine the technical set up of your design and might pose some design limitations (your designer can advise you of these limitations and possible workarounds.) You should also be aware of some of the technical restrictions of certain types of logos. We can steer you around all the potential pitfalls and make sure you avoid some fairly common errors.
You should also consider color choices – whether you utilize a two spot color, or four color process design will greatly impact any reproduction rates in the future. While not critical in the initial design phases, your choice of corporate color will have a ripple effect throughout ALL your corporate ‘look-and-feel’ material and is a decision that should not be taken lightly in the final stages of the design process.
All of our projects end with file formats that can be taken to any printer. The exact types and number of file formats can vary depending on the design package you have selected, but our basic file format bundle generally consists of the following (for more information on file formats, please visit our Design Help Center for a variety of technical articles):
Your logo in Encapsulated Postscript format. This vector based logo format is readable by both PC and Macintosh (Apple) desktop and publishing software. This is the file you would require for traditional reproduction (printing.) It is both scalable (can be re-sized without any degradation in quality) and editable. It can be utilized by most commercial printers and software packages. This file contains all your new logo fonts, colors (Pantone Matching System) that will assure uniform color accuracy in all future uses. These formats will be in spot color or four color process setups, depending on the number of colors in your logo.
Your logo as it appeared on your client page (72 dpi 216 index color.) This pixel based version of your logo is suitable for web or other low-resolution reproduction. Non-platform. This file will be optimized in web-safe colors for rapid download on the web, as well as true color accuracy on all platforms and browsers. As this file is non-scalable (cannot be re-sized without image degradation) we supply several pixel width sizes which can all be imported into web pages ’size-is’ for maximum image quality, resolution and color accuracy.
A hi-resolution .JPG version of your logo artwork. This high-resolution file (300 dpi – dots per inch) can be converted and imported into most desktop publishing and word processing software that supports the tiff and/or .JPG format. This file can be re-sized (down) and be used as monitor friendly (RGB) or print friendly (CMYK.) This pixel-based image can also be imported in popular image-manipulation programs like Adobe Photoshop for special effects.
A web-friendly .PNG version of your logo artwork. This low-resolution file (72 dpi – dots per inch) can be used on the web and any other software that recognizes the .PNG format. This file can be re-sized (down) but can only be used as monitor friendly (RGB.) The main advantage to .PNG files over any other form of pixel-based images is its ability to feature a transparent background.
Other Formats available at no additional charge:
(your job).BMP, (your job).TIF, (your job).PICT, (your job).PNG, (your job).PDF.
Please advise your designer of format requirements at completion of your logo and we would be happy to supply these in addition to the formats listed above. For more on files, formats, uses and possible conversions see our Reference Guide in our Design Help Center.
Other formats available and included in premium and professional packages:
A monochrome (black) version of your new logo for use on faxes, invoices and other low-reproduction quality media. This logo is redrawn with this use in mind rather than simply converted in to a grayscale from the original source files. This enables the most-effective representation of your logo in a low-resolution, black and white use. This is a black & white vector-based logo with all the advantages that entails.
A halftone (screened in percentages of black) version of your new logo. This logo is recreated with tonal differences in mind as sometimes colors that contrast vividly with their neighbors, blend together when simply converted to black and white. Only through careful conversion can the original color integrity of your logo be maintained in halftone. This file is also vector-based.
Yes.
Many of our clients often purchase one (or more) of the preliminary designs originally proposed. The purchase price of one of these other designs is offered at a large discount price.
Standard cost for a logo can be found on our Store Application. If you have special requirements please contact us for an estimate.
We have a number of logo design packages to match your time requirements and budget. Each package features a different delivery time. Depending on the package required, you can have your preliminary concepts available for review within 3 business days or for a more economical service, 1 week packages (Entry Level service.) Beyond the delivery of preliminary designs, the amount of time required to complete a typical project depends on the client, the number of design revisions and modifications requested, complexity of logo requests, etc. Each logo project is different but typically can take anywhere from a week to four weeks after preliminary designs are presented until sign-off and final download of files.
No.
All our packages have built-in revision cycles (the number of edits is detailed in our pricing area). Even if you exhaust the listed number of revision rounds included with your package, our designers are flexible and can usually accommodate a few more without additional charge. We do not offer, of course, ‘unlimited revisions’.
Yes.
It doesn’t matter where you are located, Netfe can work with you to build your new identity. We’ve made it easy for you to submit your project and then collaborate with our designers via our Project Support page, a private client only area where you can log in, view concepts and revisions and pass on feedback until you’re ready to finalize your new logo.
Working remotely and online with the majority of our clients is how our company has always operated.
No.
Logo templates are a bad idea for use in any brand development (we even purchased a logo template – that we originally designed – from one such site, to illustrate how bad.) The idea of using the same logo that other companies are also using runs contrary to the very idea of designing an original logo to create a unique brand identity. Same idea applies to any “free” logo generator web sites who will may claim that their libraries aren’t clip art (when that’s exactly what they are) and aren’t free anyway.
Once the project is completed – you do.
Netfe sends signed copyright transfer documents with your final files. We can also assist you in trademarking your logo should you decide to go this more formal (and expensive) route.
