| Last time I did a vector graphic for use in printing (you'll want the final product to be vector and in CMYK color format, as well as at least 300 dpi [dots per sq. inch]), I charged the guy $40. It was seriously undercharged, but I needed the money (heck, I still need the money).
The reason that you want it in vector format is that it can be re-sized to any size without distortion, if they want it to be able to be used that way. Also, how they are going to use the graphic determines how much you charge: as a letterhead? As a corporate logo (much more expensive, as it has to be copyrighted and is used on everything they have, from business cards to letterhead to sign on a building, etc.)?
The reason for the CMYK color format is that the colors you see on your screen are the colors you will see when the graphic prints. You can do the design in RGB color format, then change it to CMYK; don't expect it to look the same as it did in the RGB format, though, as it won't.
I could go on a bit more, maybe, but I think this gives you some sort of a point of reference; at least I hope it was helpful.

Some people think they gain through dishonest means, never realizing that in lying, cheating, and other dishonesty, they are losing pieces of themselves, which they can never recover. SPECIAL | |
