Client: “We will no longer be needing your services, you took too long.”

Me: “[after several timely rounds of revisions] I’m sorry, perhaps I don’t understand, but isn’t the timeline not complete for another two months?”

Client: “All we have received so far are proofs and concepts. We hired you to design us a logo.”

Me: “Yes, but that’s generally the end result of the proofs and concepts. If you are to move on, the invoice stands currently at $550.”

Client: “Since all we have received are concepts, we will only be paying you $50, since you seem to be a nice kid. After all, I’ve got a pirated version of Illustrator and could copy exactly what you did in about 30 minutes.”
