Chuck,

Some people love to art direct, although what they see in their mind, may not be what they had in mind, once they see the final product.

In those cases, I agree with Franklin. Present them with a proof of their concept and one of your own.

Once you've won a customer over, with your tasteful layouts, I doubt they'll question your expertise in the future.

If people want proof, after proof, after proof -- give them what they want -- for charge, after charge, after charge.

Jim,

I've occasionally gotten that request as well, even though I've been able to talk people out of it, by showing them an example of how it would appear.

If a person can't be talked out of that horrendous use of typography, you can be sure it's a plaque that won't carry my label on the back. :S

It's getting a bit silly, but how about a sticker on the back that reads:
"manufactured to customer specifications by ***"

This reminds me of other threads on matching existing tacky awards that don't change from year to year.

If its a new customer do you want them to come back? Back when I bought my car, one salesman only wanted to sell a model he felt was "age appropriate", not the one I was interested in. Needless to say, I went elsewhere. (different dealer & brand)

Is that anything like:

A font and inter character spacing is everything.

See what happened to "MegaFlicks"

Don't click if easily offended.

John,

Years ago, while working as an employee, I was asked by my foreman, to redo a nameplate, for a person with the last name of Flick.

They wanted a lot of space, between the "L" and the "I." :-$

Even worse was when my brother, an owner of a small pick-up truck, proudly put a sticker on the back window of his truck:

Tucson Mini Trucker

Amazing how a badly spaced T and r can combine to make an F.
