No, if you want to register a trademark, the price doesn't depend on whether you apply for a word mark or a figurative (logo) trademark (or any type of trademark, for that matter). The cost will be primarily influenced by your choice of country, the number of trademark classes you apply in, and maybe your legal representative's fee.
The type of trademark impacts how its protection should be understood, compared to others and applied. When thinking about concepts of distinctiveness and similarity, two essential criteria for trademark registration, there's a difference between how these apply to a word/phrase and a visual representation (even if it was a visual rendering of the same word/phrase). Brand names, logos, sounds or smells cannot be easily compared to each other, hence why the system exists.
If my trademark application gets dismissed, do I lose the fee?
Should I register both the name and the logo trademarks at once?
Can I avoid additional costs by registering both word and image trademarks in one application?
How much does adding a class to my UK trademark application cost?
Can I use the word and image trademarks separately if I register them together?
I want to register a CA trademark in one class; how much would that cost?
Does the cost of trademark registration depend on the number of classes?
Does a logo trademark protect all of its individual elements?
