Personally, I wouldn't do it...But for fun, just to make the company realize what they are asking
you for....You could offer to give them a contract to use your
designs. Say that for each of your personal designs, you charge
them an hour or two at your normal rate, plus production costs.
Then you say that you will produce x number of transfers for them
and they are not allowed to produce more. Transfers are much
cheaper to produce. They NEED to see that they are dealing with an
artist AND a businessperson. If a company thinks they can get
something for free, of course they'll try it...but they may just be
too ignorant of art to understand the rights of an artist and the
idea of "intellectual property" extending to the art world. If they
are a promo company, they should know that logos cost money to
produce, and they are basically asking you to produce a dozen logos
for their promo tour.
I think you're right no matter what you decide. You're the one that
has to sleep with your decisions.
