This is an uninformed reply. I get a lot done, and am able to capitalize on my skills and talent. Most shops give away art for free, and have little understanding of the value of their design services or intellectual property. They consistently undervalue design, to the extent that they won't pay a good designer a competitive wage and they fail to produce the level of design demanded by modern businesses. When I have the opportunity to work with a multi-million dollar company on a branding project, it is a small step to gain their confidence and move into other branding and marketing projects. I will not just "throw something together" for a "dumb sticker." It is that unfortunate mentality that is hurting the small sign shop more than anything!
but this isn't a multi-million dollar branding project, it is literally a dumb sticker. So keep whatever rights you think you have and charge him $200 instead. What are you gonna do when someone else makes it for him? Waste time and money trying to sue him? Cry about it to your neighbors? If he doesn't go somewhere else, what are you gonna do with these intellectual property rights that you own? You gonna go sell Express stickers with flag arrows on Amazon to recoup the money that you didn't charge in the first place? Throwing stuff together isn't hurting anyone, its selling that stuff, the actual tangible product, at dirt cheap prices like you keep telling everyone else to do that is the problem.
