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.
