Please forgive me if this is a general situation which has been posted before but I’m at a loss as to how to handle this.
I have a client that requested that I design a logo for him. After explaining his ideas to me he requested that I do ten sketches for him. Usually I give a client several digital logos for him/her to consider but I accepted his request because I usually make sketches anyway and I didn’t care how we got to the end result. I told him that I requested half payment to begin work and told him when he is satisfied with my work I will collect the remaining balance.
While I was working on sketches he sent me ten logo designs from another graphic designer. I figured, it’s American and he has freedom of choice. I don’t care what he does as long as he pays me. I finished my designs and sent them to him. Now he has revisions that he wants made.
No problem, but I’m not sure I want to do any more work if he has another designer out there doing the same work. I’ve never done any work for him before and I want to get paid for my work. Who is to say he picks the competing designers work and does not pay me the final balance.
Any ideas as to how I should handle this? Should I ask him who he wants to do the logo for him before I do any more work? Thanks in advance for your valued advise.
