Branding costs between $5,000 and $500,000+ in 2026. A logo refresh starts at $5k–$15k. A full brand system (strategy, identity, guidelines, rollout) runs $50k–$150k for mid-market firms, and $200k+ for enterprise work across multiple markets. Anyone who quotes you a fixed price before they've seen your scope is selling you a template.
