In focus
What actually goes into a graphic design quote in BD (and why the Tk 3,000 logo is a trap)
When someone messages "graphic design koto taka?" the honest answer is: it depends on the job, but never as little as the marketplace ads claim. A logo is not just a mark — done properly it includes wordmark plus icon, a horizontal lockup, a stacked lockup, a mono version, a reverse-on-dark version, a favicon, and clear usage rules so your printer and Facebook Ads manager do not improvise.
That is roughly a week of focused senior work, and that is why my brand starter sits at 50,000 BDT, not 5,000. The Tk 3,000 logo you saw on Facebook is almost always one of two things: a template recoloured in five minutes, or a piece bought wholesale from a Pakistani or Indonesian template farm and resold. The clue is that you never get the editable source file, only a flat JPG — because there is no real source to give.
Real cost in BD graphic design is driven by four things: how many assets the brand actually needs (just a logo, or logo + social kit + signage + packaging), how much research and strategy the brand deserves (a one-product seller versus a multi-category retailer), how many rounds of revision are sensible before the work becomes worse instead of better, and how production-ready the files have to be (web-only export, full print-ready with bleed and CMYK profiles, or both).
For most Bangladeshi SMEs the sweet-spot is the 50,000 to 1,50,000 BDT range — enough room for a proper identity plus the working creatives you will actually use this quarter. Larger custom brand systems start from 3,00,000 BDT. Whatever the number, you get the editable files, full ownership, and a designer you can WhatsApp directly when the next campaign lands.
