I was working for a small screenprinting firm to get myself thru college, about 2001ish. A coworker and his father decided to start up a sporting goods company. They needed a designer, I needed a job.
I met with my coworkers father, the client, in a Minneapolis cafe. He had a bunch of scrap papers he handed me. Then we talked awhile over coffee. I gave him an estimate of $350 for the buisness identity and one technical illustration ($35/hr for 10hrs worth of work).
The second meeting we went over my rough logo ideas. He told me what he liked and didn't like. I made the changes and sent further proofs to him over email.
Our third meeting was final, I handed him a disc and told him i could work with the printer if he wanted. he said he already had it set up and handed me a check.
Just like that.
