Forgive my "naivéness"?? (is that a word?), Oh well here goes. When a name is this long I like to break the type styles up, too much extra bold italicized, hard on the eyes. And just for OP......................... the house is straight!
Just my $.02:biggrin:

Heath Signs, top one with the roof being the "M" and the structure of the house being the "C". Like that a lot! Very nice!

That's a real shame. You had a really nice looking setup for him.

On his "new" design, I didn't know house painting and carpentry had so many "gears" involved you needed that in your logo :)

I think he made a mistake, you did a nice job for him.

This happens all the time. Your customer is an idiot.

I really liked the way you presented your design too.

...welcome to my world.

Congratulations on another great solution. We just "over designed" a great identity for a new salon, located in our posh downtown area. In my opinion, we nailed it. But, they are going to stick with the clip art tree and comic sans.

We lost time, money and energy but gained knowledge, experience and a valuable lesson. We will try to ask the right questions in order to deliver what the client is really looking for. Then, when they tell us comic sans, we can: convince them otherwise before spending hours on design work, deliver the crap design, or wrap them on the head with a hammer and send them packing.

Congrats all the same -

Recycling is all the rage now. When clients ask me if I'm green, I tell them we recycle many of our designs. This cuts down on the number of phosphors that are emitted by monitor radiation into the air that we all breathe. It's important for us all to do our part to save the planet from the inevitable destruction by an errant asteroid being pulled here from all of the incalculable number of $39.00 magnetic vehicle signs on the planet.

I questioned the brush too. But he had his idea sketched out in pretty good detail. He stays pretty busy without a logo so i guess nothing will really change.
