TBH I said up front we was thinking of an initial figure of between £400 and £800 so we're not a million miles away. I did give him a rough brief but this LOGO stuff is out the blue as is the "Hey have a whole new website". I think we are kinda singing from two different song sheets at the minute so I/We need to find what he can actually do on the work as outlined originally.

Yep that's why I didn't ask in the 'community' as such and 'asked around' instead as I already decided we'd have to pay proper money.
