Trying hard to understand why clients do this to my/our work. http://oildat.net I lay it all out on the line doing what I do best. The integrity is destroyed by doing something like so. IMO%3E
ReplyI guess in short what I'm getting at is Listen to your designer. We are the ones that know our business.
ReplyIt's sad how they spend all that money to hire a paid professional, then decide that it's not good enough as is. Really sad.
ReplyI don't think they understand the 'Integrity' thing.
ReplyI think a lot of clients see it only as an exchange of goods that stops after the money transfer.
ReplyMight be sad but you just have to let go. It's their business. It's their logo. I'm sure they like it better they way they are using it. At least it still looks professional.
ReplyBTW not putting client on spot. Just pointing out that if you change the integrity of a design done by a professional, you may be starting at square one again.
ReplyGlen, Sorry I just read ildat but maybe because I designed it?
Reply%5EDid not read your post but part of the contract.
ReplyWhy style guides and logo guidelines are so important.
Reply%5EMike, did you make contact with them asking why the change in the logotype?**%5EAnthony, I don't think you posted in ignorance about this, it was a very valid question to ask, if you design a logo for a client and they pay you they are entitled to do what they want with said logo, its up to us to build a good relationship with them to avoid this and sometimes its just not enough. **Its the same as an Architect designing a house for you and you decide 2 years later you don't like the style of Georgian windows he designed...
ReplySorry to see this happen Mike. Though it doesn't change the fact that you are an amazing designer. Chin up.
ReplyDunno, Mike, I think it reads Oildat. _That_ is not a problem. IMO the more obvious problem is that O and ildat are slanted differently.**Amateur job though all over. Gotta love the 1400 x 1400 px background in GIF that is almost entirely filled with a solid color...
