- Project Scope & Asset Deliverables: Detail vector logo files (.AI, .EPS), print-ready PDFs with bleed, and web-optimized raster formats (.PNG, .SVG). - Revision Round Tracking: Specify included revision cycles (e.g., "Initial concept creation plus 2 client revision rounds") and bill additional modifications at your agreed hourly rate. - Stock Assets & Font Licensing: Clearly separate third-party font licenses or premium stock photography fees from your creative design fee.#
