That looks GREAT! The font beneath makes me think of an auto supply store, though.

I love the heading Joe, but the type underneath does seem out of place. The word confetti is great though....

Heyyyyyyy.......your customer is an idiot! How unusual!
It's lucky her daughter is a marketing/graphics expert.

You're freakin' kidding, Joe! I'm so sorry. What you did was awesome.
Something I've been thinking about lately is that we all do layouts and logos for people who come to us because they don't know how to do it. We create something and send to them for their feedback. Then something like that happens. It sucks that the people making the final decision on our good designs are the ones who don't know how to do it.

The bottom line is I'm getting paid to do this. And I love designing, so I really can't complain.
However at a certain point I realize the customer hasn't hired me for my expertise and imagination, but instead has hired me to try to crawl inside their head and regurgitate their ideas for better or for worst. The problem is since they don't do this for a living most times it's for worst. There is a reason they sell party supplies and I design logos. I will do my very best, but I'm afraid I can't help much if I'm being told exactly how to do my job.
She decided that copying something else is better for her image then the unique script that we created. That is her decision to make. If she does this with every person she does business with, the contractor, the lawyer, etc.. , she may find her self struggling to keep her business alive because she has chosen to ignore the expertise of people who provide those services for a living. We have seen those businesses come and go. I really hope this isn't the case with her, as I hate to see small businesses fail.

you know, if nothing more, you have made a lot of us feel a whole lot better as when this happens to me, I know I just feel like I failed. seeing it happen to you, some one up to as a design God, it makes me see that customer's opinions have nothing to do with a good design, they soemtimes are just idiots!
do what she wants but I would find her nearest competition and offer them up a nice looking idea:Big Laugh

I have a whole collection of pieces that never saw the light of day because a customer or a committee bastardized it to a completely ugly level. Pre-customer concepts remain in the portfolio, the ugly version goes out into the world.
