Recently met with a team of doctors to discuss branding for an upcoming health and immunization campaign. They had another firm on board with whom they were very unhappy. They (other firm) had been working on this since mid June and had delivered nothing useful.
The immunization piece focuses on 4 vaccines which children are required to have by 6th grade. After our meeting, I submitted the following VERY ROUGH samples just to see if I was on their page.
They were happy.
Fly in the ointment: Some program director decides to go with the firm already on retainer after they submit this...
Their use of "4" in that logo thing only appeared after I submitted my ideas.
No. I don't know what that second thing is.They're going to pay me for my work, but...
is it me?

true
at least you are getting paid, this is HUGEThere is only so much you can do you know? Sometimes people just don't have the same taste and can go to pick extremes just like this and be perfectly happy with that.
For us (designers) it's not the same, we might understand if the other comp is clearly superior (might not want to admit it though) but in a case like this, where is pretty much as low as you can go, it hurts, you probably spend a lot of time kerning that text, and then you see what they decided to go with, man... you must be ANGRY right now..
Put your headset on, play some deathmetal, go out for a smoke and when you get home just beat up your wife while you enjoy a coors light.
What you gonna do right?

I feel a bit better... though, perhaps I should have posted before downing all these pills. Maybe the Jack will help.
Oh boy.

look at it this way- they missed out because they're gonna get some crap work now. perhaps they'll call you after they realise the other firm are a joke.

jesus dude, stop being such a design snob!
If you look past your ego, you will see that it is clearly done by a true talented professional. it's called vernacular design you ass, and it looks a little rough around the edges on purpose.

Dude. The 2nd draft by the 1st group is total shite. I hope you're making this up, because if this is true and I were you, I'd be in jail.

It's not your fault. I'm sure the other agency is jerking them off under the table.
- yep. one of the team members suspects that as well.ItTango
