Hello!
I've been approached and asked to design a logo. Only thing is - There are 2 other agencies that have also been asked. The "client" wants us to submit our work and then she'll choose.
So that's research and design for nothing. If she likes it, only then will one of us get paid.
To be honest I'd never really though about what I'd do in a situation like this. I've done work for her before. This whole "all three of you submit something" reminds me of those awful stock logo contest sites. They were great when I needed to build up a portfolio to help me get my first job, but I'm not sure what to do about this.
Has anyone ever had this before? My reaction was one of "no way - you know what my work is like, don't patronise me by having me compete"
But is this slightly cutting my nose off to spite my face?
What would you do if it were you? It won't affect my decision (when I have one), I'm however intrigued. Would you or have you asked for some kind of payment to cover the research etc?
Thanks lovely people
