yeah, i had a similar one while designing a logo. "don't feel married to that name. if you can come up with something better, use that."
I used the name they provided and during the presentation was asked, "didn't they tell you that you could come up with a new name, too?"
I feel for you.

A print layout with a Ad for Coca-cola. In the layout you see King-kong with a cola in one hand and a girl in the other. I am sure all of you know this ad.
So normally to represent that stupid side of clients and accounts there is this "story" (dunno if really happen, but is great)
"Nice idea, can we take out the monkey?!"

during the meeting the owner of the company was like you need to do something about that logo, it's terrible. can't you use our logo?'
i reply, 'that is your company logo'.

I once had a client who, after the project was all finished, had a complete shift in their business plan... And demanded I implement the changes free of charge, or I get paid ziltch.
I feel for you, man!

I had to straight up serve a client once, who after weeks of proofing, finally finished the logo for his restaurant. Then he decide to change the name from "Pranzo" to "Serioz". I had to tell him it would cost double and he was shocked. what a dumbass

lmfao soler. wtf is with these ppl?
- dr_Shim0
MR_T, I went through a very kewl agency that made him pay. He did, but was pissed.
The crazy thing is, that the client had to pay for a failed business plan that they came up with. I just did my job; I can't argue with a client over the way they run their business.

Denial.
I just spent 7 paragraphs exlaining to this twat that we don't offer email. We are not an ISP.
His reply?
"Can you sort out the email side if we use another domain?"
Yeah. And we'll hoover your office too.
I'm gonna start putting "Idiot Tax" on invoices.
