Yes you will need copyright assigning to you which you can then pass on, hopefully he/she will have incorporated this into the cost you have already paid, however, in the past we have had to pay extra for copyright with regards to illustrative work.

All this should have been negotiated and agreed prior to taking on the job, basically the professional thing to do is assign all copyright to your client, if you feel you want to charge extra for the brand you have created you will have to see if your client is now happy to pay for this. In future you must discuss with your client exactly what you will be doing and how much you charge for each part, so everybody knows where they are.

In this particular situation I think this is fair, however, in future ensure your quotes already incorporate your charges for assignment of copyright and make your client aware of this, as it is a selling point to be honest as I am sure many designers don't do this.

Will see what I can find, maybe one of the other designers on here may show what they currently use.
P.S: Let us know how you got on in the end.
