Remember when I thought 'unlimited revisions' was just fine for 2 years straight?
I had this logo project for a local hot sauce brand back in March. Told them they could ask for changes as many times as they wanted because I was scared of losing the job. After 14 rounds over 6 weeks they asked me to 'make the pepper look happier but also more aggressive.' That's when it clicked. I was basically paying them to work. Has anyone else had that slap-in-the-face moment where you realized you were training clients to walk all over you?
14 revisions on a logo is wild, I had a coffee shop client ask for 9 rounds once. That unlimited policy just trains them to not think before they ask. Learned the hard way that boundaries are cheaper than free labor.
