how long is a piece of string?
It depends on the work you put into it. Industrial designers make tens of thousands on designing logos.
You really need to size up who you are doing it for and give them a price based on what you think they will pay. If they jump at it then you didn't ask enough, if they walk away, too much. If they negotiate, then you are in the ballpark.

It helps. The most famous one I can think of is Avanti. He did many designs but this might be his most famous.

Industrial designers design physical objects (such as tooth brushes, lamps, computer cases, etc.), not logos. Those are usually made by a graphic designer specializing in branding and identity.
You usually have a hard time finding a job as an industrial designer without a degree. Many graphic designers are self-taught.

How much were you thinking of charging? Everything depends on the quality of the work. If you're just starting out, they probably don't expect to get a $5000 bill. How much time did you spend on it? Find a number that you would be content with getting paid, and add 40%. You can always go down if they begin running

They do both.
In addition to the iconic bullet-nosed Studebaker's of 1950 and 1951, the team created the 1953 Studebaker line, highlighted by the Starliner and Starlight coupes, which consistently rank as one of the best-designed automobiles of the 1950s in lists compiled by Collectible Automobile, Car and Driver and Motor Trend magazines. He also modernized Studebaker’s logo again by applying the “Lazy S” element to a more modern design.

I'm not going to get into an argument over what industrial designers do, obviously there will always be “cross-over” designers who do a little of everything. Historically, a lot of car and machinery logos have been made by industrial designers, because they took care of everything that went into a product. But nowadays, very few professionally designed logos are made by industrial designers.
