Clear Pricing Insights for SMEs,
Startups, and Growing Brands.

Ever searched for “graphic design cost in Malaysia” or wondered, “berapa harga logo design sekarang”? You’re not alone. Graphic design pricing in Malaysia can be confusing — especially for SMEs, startups, or any growing business trying to stay on brand.

Design pricing here can be all over the place. From RM50 to RM5,000 — for the same type of service. So how do you know if you’re overpaying, underbudgeting, or actually getting good value?

This blog is your quick guide to understanding what’s worth paying for, how pricing works, and how to choose the right design service in Malaysia for your brand or business.

Why Graphic Design Costs in
Malaysia Vary So Much

You ask one designer for a logo, they quote you RM300. Another one quotes RM3,000. Hah? Why such a big gap?

Key factors that affect graphic design costs in Malaysia:

1. Experience & Skill Level

  • Freelance graphic designer Malaysia = lower cost.

  • Professional graphic designer or creative agency Malaysia = higher cost, but includes more than just “design cantik.”

You’re paying for design strategy, thinking, and how well the designer understands your brand. That’s why branding cost in Malaysia varies.

2. Type of Work / Scope

  • Design one poster? RM100–300.
  • Design a comprehensive company profile or a full branding package? RM2,000+.

More ideas, more pages, more time — so the price goes up.

3. Urgency & Timeline

  • Need it besok? Rush design fee will apply. Designers need to reshuffle their schedule just to accommodate yours.

4. Number of Revisions

  • Low-priced = 1–2 revisions max.
  • High-value packages include proper revisions, feedback sessions, and file handovers.

What Are You Actually Paying For?

Good design isn’t just about pretty visuals. It’s about making your brand clear, consistent, and trusted.

You should be paying for:

✅ Design That Solves Problems

Not just visual — it’s about communication, layout hierarchy, and getting the message across effectively.

✅ Consistency Across All Visuals

Color, font, tone — kena align with your branding, bukan tukar suka-suka setiap minggu. All should follow your brand guidelines. That’s what separates amateur from pro.

✅ A Structured Process

Briefing, timeline, delivery, and file handover — semua clear. Not a “just do and see how” kind of vibe. Avoid designers without a process.

How to Make the Most of Your
Design Budget

Here’s how you can get real value out of whatever you spend:

  • Have a Clear Design Brief – Saves time, cuts down revisions, and helps your designer deliver faster.
  • Invest in Brand Assets – A good logo, templates, and design system will make your marketing easier, cheaper in the long run.
  • Go for Packages or Subscriptions – If you need design regularly, many graphic design packages in Malaysia offer better value per project.
  • Ask What’s Included – Some quote cheap but exclude revisions or source files. Always clarify.
  • Hire a Freelance Designer Malaysia with good reviews if your project is small, but consider studios / agencies for long-term campaigns.

So, What Should You Pay?

It depends on what you need:

  • Poster or Flyer for Event: RM100–300 (freelancer); RM300–800+ (studio)

  • Logo with Brand Guidelines: RM1,000–3,000 average (freelance); RM3,000–6,000+ (agency)

  • Full Branding Package: RM5,000 and above (usually includes logo, fonts, color palette, and brand guidelines)

  • Monthly Design Package Malaysia: RM2,500–5,000+ per month, depending on volume

Don’t just pilih yang paling murah — design is your brand’s first impression to the world. Kalau visuals tak strong, susah nak build trust.

Final Thoughts

Graphic design is an investment, not just an expense. It helps build trust, maintain consistency, and differentiate your brand in a crowded market.

Whether you’re a small business owner, startup founder, or marketing manager, understanding what goes into the cost helps you make better, smarter choices — without overpaying or undercutting your brand quality.

  • “graphic design Malaysia price”
