    Why is everything so cheap in porn (especially desing work).

    The guys upstairs to us are charging 4000 $ just for a logo . I seen better ones go for 300-400 $ in porno . Fast food desing is very cheap too .

    Same thing goes for content too . I don't understand why it's so much cheaper than mainsteam .

    Because there's so much competition and because webmasters are tech savvy enough to know that it doesn't take more than 10 minutes to create a banner so why pay $300 for it like a mainstream company would?

          mainstream is subject to a term I like to refer to as


          <b><big><big><big>"Stupid Money"
          This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!

          Now read without the word dog.

            A mainstream company probably wouldn't want a warez site logo.

                Some design firm quoted my sister $15,000 to design a fashion label logo recently. I almost fell off my chair when I heard that and I'm sure suckers pay that who don't know any better. Thinking if its $15K it will be incredible.

                        more often than now you get what you pay for...

                        alot of people sell themselves way short in my opinion...especially when it comes to design.

                                You're absolutely right. I'm going to start charging more.

                                Thanks!

                                  Actually I think I know why now . No fucking designer went to desing school . Half of them got no education and 40 % that don't have their degrees learned by themself . They can't work mainsteam . But if you take 2-3 days to make a paysite desing and you have like 10 paysites desing a month that can make good money for a porn designer.

                                    You can't teach creativity in school. I started in mainstream and moved to adult. Mainstream has too much red-tape to go through before the project can get started. It's a much slower process. I've done web/design work for AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Radio Frame Networks, X10, Real Networks and a couple other companies.


                                    BTW... When are we going to receive the rest of our business cards???

                                        You get what you pay for.

                                        Some mainstream designers are worth 3K for logos and identity packages.

                                        Some porn designers aren't worth 4 dollars for a logo.

                                                  I've worked for advertising agencies and this logo work usually entails other marketing collateral, including printed work, etc. it's much more than a PSD in a zip file..

                                                      Oracle Porn could, but he sucks at design. It's better to have a professional do it than some cocky little wannabe

                                                        If you want quality you pay big bucks , even in the adult industry.


                                                        Exclusive designs are hard to come by.

                                                        The fly by night template makers tend to have a common theme to them. So that $50 template you buy might look almost exactly like the one joe blow porn guy next to you bought.

                                                        If you buy the $2000 template chances are the guy spend alot more time making yours unique.

                                                            But they keep right on coming and trumpeting how they are going to take the adult online biz by storm.

                                                            Then they get a dose of reality and go out without even a whimper.

                                                              He accepted a one off payment for the design.....sucker!

                                                                the single largest contributing factor to the "cheapness" of the online porn industry, is that almost more than any other it's almost a wholely internet based business.

                                                                So

                                                                1. Unlike in mainstream where you compete with other companies local to your area, online an American competes with a Romanian for the same job even though the romanian only needs a tenth of the money the american does to acheieve the same real world level of benefit.

                                                                2. You are only as professional as your website, and 19 year old college kids designing part time as well as warez kiddies can design for beer money and compete at a much greater level than they could if they had to walk into toyota's headquarters and do a presentation on the benefits of using their company (oops mother's basement).

                                                                Mainstream companies DO NOT pay "stupid money" to get design work done they pay professionals good money to take good care of their business, and that means employing producers, project managers, creative directors, account managers, etc, etc to ensure that large projects that have hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars resting on them are done to a standard that the single or one + outsourcing majority of porn designers couldn't handle even if they wanted to.

                                                                these aren't 3 day paysites or 3 hour logos. These are 3 month websites and 3 month logos, which have passed several tiers of client management, and endless focus groups to get it right.
                                                                Not some loner bashing out a logo in photoshop with a few effects on it to go on a paysite that will be redesigned in 12 months. Logos don't mean as much in porn anyways. We don't spend milions advertising logos on tv. We spend a few grand for paid spots on a tgp to get them where we want them.

                                                                Not only that but when businesses pay that much there are contracts entered which bind them to design companies both ensuring payments AND fiscally repremanding the design company if they are late.
                                                                Not some net kid on the other side of the world that can't be contacted on ICQ when you need to or who doesn't get paid because a dodgy porn client fucks him over.

Mainstream has too much red-tape to go through before the project can get started. It's a much slower process. I've done web/design work for AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Radio Frame Networks, X10, Real Networks and a couple other companies.

                                                                      these aren't 3 day paysites or 3 hour logos. These are 3 month websites and 3 month logos, which have passed several tiers of client management, and endless focus groups to get it right.

Logos don't mean as much in porn anyways. We don't spend milions advertising logos on tv. We spend a few grand for paid spots on a tgp to get them where we want them.

                                                                          You probably also paid for it much earlier in the game than the adult one when everything was more expensive anyways in the late 90's and there weren't 900 off the shelf shopping carts available as well as their code on open source groups for free.

                                                                          You're also no doubt leaving out certain details like the original 39k one paid for integration of the cart with your back end system and product catalogue. Whereas the $500 one came with token integration.

                                                                          just a guess though, but the fact is you certainly don't pay 36k just "for a shopping cart" in mainstream TODAY, it's like saying you bought a car in 1950 for $300 without taking into account inflation.

                                                                                The point is though that it was for a much larger store network than the adult one (presumeably), and the six months of requirements meetings do usually produce better results in a project than none. However obviously it's still possible for projects to fail, paying that much for it DOESN'T mean it's infallibale.. it's just get a better chance of working and with 400 store systems it sounds like there was more at stake than the adult. but again, im just arguing without the facts here.
                                                                                Today you wouldn't pay that, for a starters a lot of companies would just provide off the shelf stuff or recycled code themselves now that shopping carts have been pretty much refined.

                                                                                  So

                                                                                  1. Unlike in mainstream where you compete with other companies local to your area, online an American competes with a Romanian for the same job even though the romanian only needs a tenth of the money the american does to acheieve the same real world level of benefit.

                                                                                  2. You are only as professional as your website, and 19 year old college kids designing part time as well as warez kiddies can design for beer money and compete at a much greater level than they could if they had to walk into toyota's headquarters and do a presentation on the benefits of using their company (oops mother's basement).

                                                                                  Mainstream companies DO NOT pay "stupid money" to get design work done they pay professionals good money to take good care of their business, and that means employing producers, project managers, creative directors, account managers, etc, etc to ensure that large projects that have hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars resting on them are done to a standard that the single or one + outsourcing majority of porn designers couldn't handle even if they wanted to.

                                                                                  these aren't 3 day paysites or 3 hour logos. These are 3 month websites and 3 month logos, which have passed several tiers of client management, and endless focus groups to get it right.
                                                                                  Not some loner bashing out a logo in photoshop with a few effects on it to go on a paysite that will be redesigned in 12 months. Logos don't mean as much in porn anyways. We don't spend milions advertising logos on tv. We spend a few grand for paid spots on a tgp to get them where we want them.

                                                                                  Not only that but when businesses pay that much there are contracts entered which bind them to design companies both ensuring payments AND fiscally repremanding the design company if they are late.
                                                                                  Not some net kid on the other side of the world that can't be contacted on ICQ when you need to or who doesn't get paid because a dodgy porn client fucks him over.
                                                                                  Well said.

                                                                                  Designing a corporate logo (or label) is not an easy task. More time is spent in research, legal approval & test markets than the actual creative time and most design companies take 50 percent upfront and 50 percent upon completion so charging a higher rate is the norm while going through the corporate maze.
