If she called you based on your ad, I bet she was in love with your logo... which is really not "kidlike" in my book (...)
I like it when clients told me what to do and how to organize my layouts, even more when they are not into any artistic daily jobs (like mechanics, janitors... you get the idea).
Sometimes, I just feel the need to take the lead and offer to shop somewhere else, perhaps they could find a shop where they do exactly what customer is asking for, even mispelling, bad layout colors, inappropriate readability or unconnected script fonts. A real stress reliever...

It's customers like this, who make me realise why it is, that sometimes I really wanna get out of this industry.

What exactly was so offensive about what you sent?
Sounds like someone needs to get over herself.
I hate today's society sometimes. I mean, I don't like mean bad words and terms for the mentally ill. My late sister was mentally ill, and she was probably the most intelligent, down-to-earth person I ever knew.
But there was nothing insulting or threatening about what you did.
Give her some Papyrus with LLC even bigger than the damn name. Or if she wants a "signature font" try Bradley Hand.
Love....Jill

Am I the only one that feels both of you were just walking on glass, trying not to offend the other? Her obscure wording led you to be overly sensitive. She corrected with an apology of her own, and when followed by a reasonable demand that would take you all of five seconds to implement, everyone jumps on the "let's lynch the client" bandwagon.

Your not alone. This just shows how many people actually listened to what the client was asking for.

No kidding. I think we could all use a little rum and egg-nog to take the edge off of the season. Either we're letting it get to us, or we need new handouts of that butt-hurt form that Fred has.

I'm sorry but there is nothing more insulting to me as a designer with over thirty years in the business, than having a total stranger with no background in design, second guessing my years of knowledge and experience. Especially when their background is in another industry.
I'm working on an expensive carved sign for a client right now, who after I explained quite clearly, why what they wanted violated very known design principles, and after their weekend family discussion, insisted I do it wrong as they requested. So, I will accommodate their request, which I do very rarely.
I would have turned down their project if I had not already put the deposit check in the bank. Needless to say, their sign does not meet my criteria to make it on to my website portfolio. I hate kissing peoples azzes and I'm getting tire of being sensitive to everyone's needs. Screw feelings, people need to grow up already. Oh, I'm sorry. I need a time out.
