What can I expect to pay for a custom theme?

I have a color pallet in mind - I have a professionally designed logo that I am working on getting trademarked - I want to have something designed that will compliment the logo I have had designed as well as the color pallet I have in mind.

What can I expect to pay for a project like this?

Not too much, probably around 2 to 3 thousand dollars.

Heh, just kidding . You are probably looking at around 200 to 500 dollars (USD). I can't imagine anyone charging more than that for a forum skin.

ROFL - I almost spit my Coke!

Alright, that's doable - so where do I find people who do this?

IMO hold a sitepoint contest for the design and then find a good coder, maybe try the one AF used Darwix.com, but IMO definally do a sitepoint contest.

I remember Lee and Juan mentioning vbfresco in their podcast, and I looked at their site and they have some pretty awesome designs in their portfolio. I think it's $550 for a custom style and coding from them.

I agree on having a Sitepoint Contest. We had a budget of only $120 and we had a lot of professional designs to choose from. I definitely suggest a Sitetpoint contest.

Ditto but for a good one expect to hold a contest for 400-500. Contests are great because you get to see several versions.

To tell you the truth all those designs look exactly the same. Dont get me wrong they are pretty nice looking tho.

Fo a nice design you can expect to pay anywhere from $500-$800 usually.
