Hello I need some simple advice from anyone who has been in this position before.
I have had a client who requires a logo design - its aromatherapy ( facials also main service )
ok the brief - wants to create a logo the has two elements, water fountain ''fountain of youth'' and a peacock '' beauty and confidence''
i like the brief to be honest however,
from my past experience the usage of the logo will be naturally used for ie embrodied towels - dressing gowns etc and small print - business cards letter heads leaflets and other smaller printed items.
I will be up front I charged the client £80 i feel that this is a very low price but just graduating works hard to come by really in Liverpool.
ive been paid the £80 in full.
however i created a logo design , she didn't like it... fair enough there was no discussion further than what i wrote above for brief. and was given this style example of another skin company logo NU SKIN below
I first created a simple bold clean not an amazingly detailed design but it fitted the brief a quality logo design for the price. The black and white where not actual colours just sample shape layout.
as stated above she wasn't keen on it n '' not what i had in mind'' quote came to my emails.
I aim to please and like to set a high standard n pride in my work.
So i went back to it the second time and spent a bit of time on it but not charged her anymore money.
she told me the feathers are to blocky and that she wants it to have more flow and detail to the feathers. However im trying to explain to her that this kind of detail in a logo thats used for small print and embroided towels etc in my opinion will not work on small print or clothing. you want a logo design thats clean and clear a highly detailed logo design would not carry itself well imo. any feed back welcome at this point on the designs
my problem now is... shes still not happy after the second logo design.
what do i do? do i ask for more money? as its taking over a week to complete taking up my time researching and sketching and other things. is she clearly taking the piss and am i on a slippery slope and should just give her her money back? or is there another option?
id like to add this to my portfolio www.danielmasoomi.com but unfortunatly these kinds of freelance jobs are not clocked down as industry experience when applying for jobs.
id like to give the client a happy experience and quality work but some signs are telling me this could get messy.
thanks for reading all this i know its a lot to get through and hope its easy to understand.
am sure some of you have been at this point starting out.
thanks
