Is branding for an electrician folly?

The thing is I've just got a message back of him saying he likes his current business card better than my new design!
Bloody electricians!

Nevermind kushman.
I do like that last one you posted though.

I feel like ranting at my client now and telling why he's wrong.
I think it's because I angry at myself for putting so much time and effort into this and then to be told. "No, I don't like it."
It's been a while since that's happened but I guess he did come to me for a webiste, not branding (even if he does need branding more that a site.)

- to be fair you didn't really do any branding, you just spent an inordinate amount of time making a business card.max_prophet
- to be fair, yeah yore right! But you have to start somewhere?kushman

That's pants, Kushman.
Maybe the client is just frustrated with how things went down and is acting on principle? It can't be the design. yours is far better now and sticks out more.
- I don't think that's necessarily true. Some clients just can't recognize "better design".Glitterati_Duane

I think what Glitterati_Duane says is spot on in his case.
That's why I want to rant at my client! I guess I just needed to feel confident that my design is better than the original and I wasn't just blinded by ego.
He thinks his current card stands out more form a distance and the black and yellow text is easy for dyslexic people to read (and therefore easier for customers to read)
aagh!

He asked for a website, and tried to sell him a rebrand. You're overlooking a) what he asked for, and b) how much money he has to spend.
Nice try, but you should have at least expected a knock back.
