      Hi there, just a general question. I have just finished designing a logo for a friend. 4 initial concepts, various changes to chosen logo, lots of colour matching and numerous versions of the logo provided, each of them as EPs, gif, high and low res jpegs and document sized images.

      I stopped the clock at 12 hours as I didn't want to charge too much but it took me longer thgsn that, I am charging 10 per hour as mates rates. My question(s) are is this an acceptable amount of time to spend on a job like this? And do you think it's a reasonable amount to charge a friend? I mam new to freelancing and I am conscious I may be a bit slow! Thank you in advance.

          It's a bit low.  But, it's for a friend.  And, you're building your portfolio.  So, it's probably appropriate for this particular situation.  The 12 hours is not too much time.  You should initially up your rate to $15. hr., and advance from there.  This was a favor for a friend, so no harm, no foul.
