Thats a shame man, the three you posted in the end were really cool, each one had something good going on. I do hate those limited briefs, always leads to 'but we thought you'd be creative / we know what we like when we see it' kinds on conversations later.
Be happy with your solutions though, as they are lovely. And you can always try to poke the client in the eye later on.
- Thanks guys.I have asked that this thread be deleted, as I think I have said too much.MrOneHundred

So we just got the brief (they swear they faxed it through late last year). Totally the opposite of what was discussed. And seemingly designed to render obsolete every part of every concept I have given them so far. I am leaving it to my boss to work out what, if any, financial arrangements considerations to be raised.

Apparently they are going to send through a brief today (?). My boss is going to see what can be salvaged considering how much work we have put in. I really thought I at least got into the ballpark with those...
- Well, without a real brief... hopefully this will clarify things. Good luck.NotByHand

It’s a re-branding. They are quite a big player in the music biz – they do what they do very well. I think they have just been so busy doing that that they haven’t had time to focus on their visual identity. It really required much more pre-planning than what we did – it was all done over the phone, almost as an afterthought. Trying not to be critical of them as they have been mentioned by name on here and I don’t want any repercussions.
- Fair enough. I totally get it.

I don't mean to on going (if it's annoying to you)... I just get so irritated when clients communicate like this.

"more arty with a byron colour flavour."
'More arty' than what?
And what's a 'byron colour flavour'?

Oh.. I meant, if THEY (the client) have a website at the moment - where I can the current version of their brand. Or is it a new brand all together?
- No website. That was going to be part of the long-term rebranding, I think. Don’t quote me.MrOneHundred
- MrOneHundred0
the brief was; more arty with a byron colour flavour.
I won’t quote the whole email for obvious reasons, but that was the extent of the brief.

It's so annoying when a client doesn't give you any idea what they want. I hate that.

More or less. I mentioned that it was kind of hard to get into the right headspace from such a limited brief. They claimed to have sent a brief through (they didn’t as far as we can tell). They asked if I can do some more and send them through straight away. I said “no”. I tweaked the stacked version of the first one and do not anticipate any further pleasantries.
- I have gone about 5x over budget already, ffs.MrOneHundred
- Sorry to hear it.NotByHand

Looks like I struck out.
“We don’t like any of these”.
Live and learn.

Def. the 1st one. Have you thought about adding some thin lines over the words to make the note idea a little clearer. Maybe it's a lame idea, but it is worth a try and would make it very easy to sell = Quick Cash : )
