5. Client emails Buckyball versions of his logos taken into Freehand and altered. With lines attached like "What about this?" or "What if we put this extra crap on the logo?"
6. Buckyball gets the client on the phone to clear things up.
7. Buckyball sends over Round 3.
8. Client repeats step 5.
9. A frustrasted Buckyball calls client yet again. Sincerely stressing the importance of trusting his design judgement.
