    Friend of mine started a business. I was excited and offered to design the logo for free / trade because there will definitely be things I want from them in the future that won't cost them a lot.

    Sent my proposal, was happy with my ideas.

    A week later he tells me his parter's other friend whipped something up and he is all set on it.

    Now they have a terrible logo that his partner is happy with and my friend is oblivious and I'm bitter.

    The design is ugly and mine was much better.

    • Nice gesture, but a mistake: never work with family or direct friends. Because this...
      ********
    • Also just because we designers think it's bad, doesn't make it bad irl, I mean look at Spotify, shitty logo great service.
      ********
    • I wouldn't totally pull the pin on friends etc being sources of work. If they did this to a friend, how would they treat a designer who wasn't one??MrT
    • sounds like your friend could care less about a logo or his partner is calling the shots. In any case he should acknowledge your work and thank you.hotroddy
