Fuck these people w/ these ridiculous budgets—regardless if it is for a school project or not. Communication design services and intellectual property cost money—bottom line.
We get constant requests for quotes from clueless wonders, all wanting full-featured web properties for $1200. It happens all the time. I've grown so tired of these time-wasters, that I refuse to even think about drafting a proposal or project estimate. When I smell a rotting corpse, I reply w/ some rather blunt wording about realistic associated costs—I've yet to be proven wrong on this one. Those sniffing around asking questions like "how much for a website", or "what would it cost to have a logo designed for my 2-man company" are wasting everyone's time—including their own.
Problem is, there are so many desperate designers out there willing to step-right-up and provide their under-valued services for this type of shit. That's why we all hear: "well, the last designer we hired built us a website for $675".
Time to end this rubbish.

Craighooper - I understand your point but you've got to draw a line somewhere, what if it was your own mother who doesn't have a clue, and she wanted a logo for her flower shop. Would you charge her full rate?
This guy is not earning anything from this company, it's purely fictional, and he wants a logo so it will look better when he submits his coursework. Yet he is a friend of a friend, and wants something knocked up, the £100 is not a real valuation of the work, I see it more of a gesture that he appreciates I am doing him a favour.
