Preach on! Reason corporate designs cost so much is protection. Look at Dreamworks SKG. Originally called 'Dreamworks' but someone forgot to search the trademark/copyright database and realize somebody else already was operating under that name. Cost em' for it too.
The list goes on and on. When you pay me to design something or come up with a comic book character/story etc. you're not just paying me for time of pencil on paper but decades of experience and hard put college money etc. And believe you me I charge low compared to what I should be but them days are going fast.
I run into at least twice a week big time webmasters who make high 6 figures and 7 figures and boast about what they can do this or that but don't want to pay a decent price. It is inevitable that I'll check back with them in a year or two and they're dick broke. Why? Because they're trying to get something for nothing.
