anyone who designs long enough will hear some of the stereotypical client responses: can you make the logo bigger? can you make the logo bigger again? can you make it blue, my wife really likes blue..
but i finally got the holy grail of client responses: can you change the font to Comic Sans.
no BS. they really asked for it. I nearly died.
After the many horrible requests they have made (arrange a group of logos into a smiley face over a stock photo of a happy crowd was a good one), i just said F-it, and did what they asked. I've been just a tool in the project anyways, they wanted to art direct the entire process. So they got Comic Sans!
needless to say, it's a portfolio piece
what are some of the other ridiculous requests that you guys get?

Now you need to share the logo. The community needs to see this moniker of ghastliness. BTW - I actually had a client request Impact font, in 2011. Not a bad font, but way overused on the interwebz. Just as equally bad was being asked to use Papyrus in 2001.

to clarify, this was for a video project, and they wanted comic sans for the title bumpers and name titles.
and to my credit, i DID get paid about $2000 to edit a video i did not shoot. its for a nonprofit client (i work freelance for a nonprofit support and marketing firm, it's their client).
