    i was hired to design a logo as well as another studio. the client is in love with mine and everyone is really happy about it as it's made the campaign stronger. but i just got word that my boss sent the other studio my logo along with a reference board. what does that mean?

    i know it's their property .. but why would they give it to the other studio? doesn't make any sense.

    • the other studio's logos were so bad they even asked me to clean up their work. i'm really confused._salisae_
    • ask your money, go home.digdre
    • I don't understand... is there a small but crucial missing piece of information here?Dr_Rand
    • but they have me doing other work._salisae_
    • It's your property, and they sent it without permission? If they choose the other logo and it looks remotely like yours, you can sue.omgitsacamera
    • I understand it now... they must have some unexplainable loyalty to the other studioDr_Rand
    • but it's fucked upDr_Rand
    • :..(_salisae_
    • have you asked them?Dr_Rand
    • Can you ask your boss why it happened? Or is there not that kind of relationshiplocustsloth
    • asked them why?Dr_Rand
    • demand answers!emukid
    • the AD who gave me the info probably shouldn't have. he's uphappy currently and made a point to tell me his work drama last week._salisae_
    • last week. i don't know if he's just trying to stir up trouble or if there's a genuine need for concern._salisae_
    • i want to write my boss and ask but i'm afraid it'll get the AD in trouble and come across as very aggressive._salisae_
    • What if you approach it from an innocent "i don't understand this" rather than a "Why the F did you do this!?"locustsloth
    • be sure to bat your eyelashes while askingemukid
    • i've been working from home .. i know they're meeting right now about it. should i go in and get answers?_salisae_
    • it's not like i typed out a font. i drew the letters and created a logo presentation to explain the brand._salisae_
    • yes. and bat your eyelashes.emukid
    • also, do the opposite of everything i say. always.emukid
    • it might be too aggressive to just pop in suddenly._salisae_
    • i'm going to have to trust that there was a legit reason until i hear from them._salisae_
    • finally got an answer back as to why .. but it's just a guess. he said he thinks he wanted to show them what he liked._salisae_
    • so your work is good and theirs will get better as a result?
      Congratulations. someone owes you.
