WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Sean creates caricatures/cartoon logos in a vector art program called Adobe Illustrator. Almost all other caricature/cartoon logo providers use a raster program called Adobe Photoshop which is usually faster and easier compared
to Adobe Illustrator.

THE BIG DIFFERENCE: If your logo were created in a raster program like Adobe Photoshop, you would be limited on how much larger (15-20%) you could scale the logo before it would begin to lose resolution (become blurry).

THAT SAID: Cartoon/caricature logos are not cheap because they, on average, take 20 hours to complete. However, you are guaranteed 1) a caricature that looks like you
2) artwork that can scale larger (e.g., vehicle graphics) WITHOUT losing resolution and 3) excellent customer service during the process of creating your logo and after your logo is completed, in case you need future updates to your logo (such as having the file saved in another format or changing the business phone number or e-mail address within the file).

Please contact Sean to get a quote for just the sketch or a quote for getting a completed piece of artwork according to one of the options above. Inquiries will be responded to usually within 24 hours.

See below for details on the process (updated 4/4/15)

Once you contact Sean with your idea, he will send a quote via email. If you express a desire to proceed, an invoice will be sent requesting a payment for the sketch (payment amount dependent on complexity of request and option chosen). For caricatures, whether in a logo or just as artwork, the sketch is meant to capture the likeness of the individual as well as how other elements, props, and or characters in the logo/artwork will look in terms of size, placement, and design. For all other logos or artwork, the sketch is meant to capture how elements, props, and or characters in the logo/artwork will look in terms of size, placement, and design. Sketch purchase includes revisions that are a result of: 1) inability by the artist to show an approved likeness of individual(s) as a caricature according to one reference photo for each individual in caricature as directed by customer 2) neglect by the artist to show elements (e.g., props, characters, individual(s) as caricature) as requested in terms of placement within logo/artwork if placement preferences were given by customer, either in wording and/or by visual representation 3) inability by the artist to design a requested character, prop, or other element as customer had envisioned if stylization preferences were given by customer ("more "cartoony" verses less "cartoony"). Sketch revisions that could incur an extra cost include: 1) changes in idea for how the artwork should look as expressed by customer (e.g., swinging a golf club instead of driving a golf cart) 2) misinformation or neglect to share needed details (e.g., specific kind of car) 3) receiving additional reference photo(s) and a request by customer to redraw according to additional photo(s). No color will be shown in sketch. Sketch will be overlaid with Caricatures! by Sean Platt watermark.

If the sketch is approved, an invoice will be sent requesting half the total payment (minus sketch payment) to begin the digital output of your logo/artwork (creating your logo/artwork in a digital form with color).

If the sketch is not approved, you can either opt to discontinue your use of Caricatures! by Sean Platt without any further payment or a request can be made for another sketch or for revisions to existing sketch.

Upon completion of caricature/artwork, a JPEG format of your caricature/artwork overlaid with copyright watermark will be sent for your approval.

If final is approved, an invoice requesting payment for the balance left in order to release the final files will be sent. Final files will be sent via Dropbox, a free file transfer site on the internet. Please ask for details. Common formats such as JPEG, PDF, and EPS along with an AI (Adobe illustrator- fully scalable) format are provided.

If final is not approved, a request can be made for alterations to your logo/artwork. Alterations to the logo/artwork that involve a change in subject matter where elements/props are added or where the main character is repositioned, all of which require a change from the approved sketch, would incur an additional cost dependent on the nature of the request. Color changes are not an extra charge.

Payment can be made by check, credit card over the phone, or by Paypal.

Please contact the office of you have any questions regarding the process explained above.
