Cost of Logo Design services

Depending on what you want it can be pricey but there are premade logos that go cheap and you can just change them up to meet your needs.

Good ones around 25 - 100 USD

I charge anywhere from $350-$800 (corporate package). You get what you pay for. I spend a lot more time than 10 minutes on a logo, and that looks like what the people spend that are making them for $10-$20.

If you're wanting to expand your portfolio then look up a charity, church or a non profit site and help them out for free. That's what I did starting out.
Cheap selling your work only devalues the profession. And if your logos are only worth $10-$20 maybe find a different profession.

Exactly, I will go with mstrock. When you create a logo, you are creating a business identity which will be one time. It's a brand identity which people recognize.. and it's not an easy task to create one.

How much will a vector logo (high resolution - can be used for prints) - A business card design (CMYK based) - A letterhead and an Envelope with the brand manual cost (60pages)?

I suggest, you post your requirement out here with your budget mentioned.
Choose a designer looking at his past designs. I'm sure you will find a good logo designer for the cost of around $150 - $400.

Agreed, it's not just a straight forward process.

I've had clients say yes straight away to a logo, and some clients where it takes about 8 or 9 attempts to get it absolutely perfect.

but being realistic, there are $10 logos and even $6!
insanely as it sounds but that is reality. I think it all comes down to what the client needs at the moment. but I doubt that those logos will last them even for a year without them realizing they need a rebrand.
