A product team needs forty interface icons drawn on one grid. A marketing team wants a library of spot illustrations that makes its website, onboarding emails and sales decks look like one company drew them. Illustration and icon design studios produce exactly that: custom icon families in matching stroke weights and sizes, character and scene illustrations, editorial artwork, and the style rules that let in-house designers extend the set later.
When you compare studios here, look at their icon work at small sizes and their illustrations across a whole series, not one hero image. Consistency over dozens of assets is the skill you are paying for.

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.
Icon work starts with a grid and a set of rules: keyline shapes, stroke width, corner radius, perspective and how filled and outlined states differ. The studio then draws the family, tests each glyph at the sizes it will actually render, and hands over SVG files, an icon font or a component library ready for Figma and the codebase. App icons, favicon sets and pictograms for wayfinding or packaging are common add-ons.
Illustration engagements run from a single campaign key visual to a full brand illustration system: a defined palette, line treatment, character proportions and a bank of scenes for product empty states, help articles, landing pages and social posts. Editorial and technical illustration, such as exploded product views or process diagrams, sits in the same studios.
Most projects are fixed-scope commissions with a sketch round, a refined round and final artwork. Teams with steady demand move to a retainer or a block of illustrations per month once the style is locked.
Ask for a complete icon set the studio shipped, shown at the smallest size it was used, and for an illustration series of at least a dozen pieces from one client. Single portfolio showpieces prove talent, not the discipline of keeping a style steady across a large library.
Check the handoff. Good studios deliver clean, named vector files, a style guide explaining how to extend the set, and source files you own outright. Confirm the license in writing: full transfer of rights, or a usage license limited by channel and term. Ask whether any stock elements or generated imagery enter the work, because that affects what you can register and defend.
Watch for studios that show only one house style. If every client's artwork looks the same, your brand will look like theirs. Ask who will actually draw your assets and whether that person drew the samples you liked.
Studios quote per asset, per set or per project. Icon work is often priced by the number of glyphs and the number of states or sizes each one needs; illustration is priced by complexity, from simple spot art to detailed scenes with characters. Retainers cover a monthly volume once the style system exists.
The biggest cost drivers are how much style exploration you need before production starts, the asset count, revision rounds, animation-ready layering, and the rights you buy. An exclusive buyout of artwork for advertising and merchandise costs more than a license for web use only.
Most studios listed here set a minimum project between $1,000 and $5,000, and a fair number take small commissions with no minimum at all. A smaller group starts at $25,000 or more; these usually build full illustration systems for large product or consumer brands.
Short answers to what buyers ask before hiring a Illustration & Icon Design company.
Question not covered? Ask our team
Custom icon design is usually priced per icon or per set, with the count, the number of styles and the sizes required setting the total. Most studios on Edverise set a minimum project of $1,000 to $5,000, and some accept small jobs with no minimum. Exclusive rights and extra revision rounds raise the quote.
Timing depends on how many assets you need and how settled the style is. A project moves through briefing, style exploration, sketches, refinement and final artwork. Long approval chains and a style that has to be invented from scratch are what stretch it most, while extending an existing system goes fastest.
Illustration means drawing original artwork, while graphic design arranges type, images and layout into finished pieces such as brochures, ads and web pages. Graphic designers often place illustrations that a specialist drew. Many studios offer both, but ask to see drawn work specifically if illustration is the core need.
Business services, advertising and marketing, consumer products, healthcare, ecommerce, IT and financial services clients are the most common for studios in this listing. Software and fintech teams commission interface icons and onboarding art, healthcare buyers need clear explanatory illustration, and consumer brands want packaging and campaign artwork.
London has the largest group of illustration and icon design studios on this page, followed by Dubai, New York, Austin and Toronto. Illustration is easy to commission remotely since reviews happen on shared files, so location matters less than style fit and time-zone overlap for feedback rounds.
