Artworking a job for a client involving a circular logo.
Client: “Can you please rotate the logo 360 degrees?”
clientsfromhell:
Client: I hate the logo. I really really hate the logo. I can’t bear to look at it. It makes me sick just to see it. I want you to design another one!

Client: “Oh wow, this looks GREAT! But seriously, we want to be original here.”
Me: “Oh, I’m sorry. When we discussed the design together, you had sounded like this was what you wanted; is there something that you would like changed?”

Client: “No, I want the originals.”
Me: “But the originals...

Client: I want the colour to be white but somehow black.
Me: [speechless]
