The main qualities you need to look for in the icon designer are the following:

Visualization skills. The designer must be able to create the icon that will represent your business. He must make sure the icons are simple, and the details are giving some sort of message to the user, or your customer.

Artistic skills. A designer must be able to create a car that will look both attractive and professional.

Communication skills. Your designer must be able to listen to you, and understand what you want to accomplish with your project.

Creativity. Your designer must be able to think creatively when it comes to creating new icons, and choosing the right colors for your project. He must have his own point of view, and not just repeat the old ideas.

How much does it cost to Hire an Icon Designer?

As you already know, there are many ways to create an icon, and each designer has his own opinion about the process of creating a logo. Some of them believe that they don't need any sketches, while others have a strict process that they follow each time they create a new icon.

You should be careful when you choose a designer, because not all of them are able to create an icon that represents your business. First of all, you need to determine how much time you're going to invest in creating a new logo, and then find the right designer that will be able to create the icon that you want.

When it comes to the price, you should be ready to pay a decent price for a good icon design. Some designers are able to charge up to $200-$300 for one icon, while others will be more than happy to create a new icon for you for just $50 or $100.

What is the Difference between the Free Icons and Premium Icons?

There are many designers that offer you to download free icons, while others will ask you to pay for premium icons. In this article, we're going to explain to you what is the difference between the free icons and premium icons.

If you choose to download a free icon from the Internet, you must be aware that you won't be able to use it for your projects. The reason is simple – they're not allowed to be used commercially. It means that you can use them for your personal projects, but you can't use them for your business.

In order to use a free icon for your business, you need to purchase the icon's loyalties or usage right or use a free public domain vector. And you can use SVGRepo to search through all the internet's public and open licensed vectors, download and use it for free in your commercial projects!
