    I think the other telling sign is the price tag associated with this project. It is unfortunate but my experience has always been that when I take on projects on the cheap I end up dealing with unprofessional and unethical people that end up being more painful and costing ME more then otherwise.

    At < $1000 this guy could be anywhere from not interested anymore to trying to finish the project on his own to passing it off to his sisters nephews adopted monkey to do.

    Unfortunately money talks. Don't charge anything less then 5k for a branding/identity project. Even that is on the cheap considering the money that companies pour into their branding. Both initial campaign and brand support afterwards.

    Be as diplomatic as you can to finish this off but then be prepared to walk. Then buy this book http://www.amazon.com/Graphic-Ar…
