    What do you do when you dont like any of the logos someone presents to you?

    I had someone do some logos for me, we spend a full hour on the phone talking about what I wanted in ideas.
    It took a month (!!!) and he came back with over 70 different mockups and I didnt like any of them.
    The colors are all off, many of the fonts are what I told him I didnt like (Cursive, futuristic)
    The logo I already have now is better.

    lol, I gave him $100 deposit. I kind of want to say "Just keep it, im going to go with a different designer"

    What do you do? Do you keep going with him, or just let him go?

    to be fair this is just a first mockup to see what I like, give it another chance or cut the cord?

          I'd find someone new... and let him keep the $100.

              70 mockups seems like a lot to me! If you don't like any of them enough to suggest small changes and get a good logo, I'd look somewhere else.

                              would think out of 70 something would at least give ya a feel of what ya want with some modifiication directions, if your staring at 70 and don't see a future in any of them would probably pick someone else

                                          some clients can't GIVE basic instructions from the beginning... even though they think they have.

                                          I've worked with Marcus ( If he's the Marcus I think he is) before though, and I'm sure that's not the case, if I remember right he was painless to work for..

The fact that he used fonts that you specifically told him you did not want shows a lack of attention to detail. Move on and find someone else to do the work for you.

                                                                                                          Id send him another 100 and find someone else.

                                                                                                          What I want to know is how does a client not like ANY of 70 mockups.

                                                                                                          I mean its either a BUNCH of crap or the client is being picky... not sure. Examples?
                                                                                                          Thinking the same thing. I think the guy is a d-bag (OP)

At most all you need is the name of your site in nice and/or distinctive font. (See: Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc) Livejasmin didn't become one of the most popular porn sites by having a logo.

                                                                                                                              I'm baffled by the importance some people place on logos, and that they'll actually pay others to create them. They just end up wasting time and money on something unnecessary that almost nobody will even notice, let alone care about.

                                                                                                                                                          It took a month (!!!) and he came back with over 70 different mockups and I didnt like any of them.
                                                                                                                                                          The colors are all off, many of the fonts are what I told him I didnt like (Cursive, futuristic)
                                                                                                                                                          The logo I already have now is better.

                                                                                                                                                          What do you do? Do you keep going with him, or just let him go?

                                                                                                                                                              Its also a reason why deposits are asked of our clients, because every once in a blue moon, we do have clients that say 'I need a logo for a dog food store' and that is the design brief they give us LOL

                                                                                                                                                              No idea on colors, fonts, look or feel, just expect us to come up with something magically they are going to instantly love.

                                                                                                                                                              A few weeks back we had a client tell us they wanted a logo making in black font, with purple outer color and a white drop shadow, we sent them over 5 variations based on that they could see to narrow down fonts and they were like 'No, this isnt what I asked for'...

                                                                                                                                                              Next day we sent her money back when we got that email, sometimes its just not worth the hassle...

                                                                                                                                                                                          No, I said people don't need a logo, they just need the site name in a nice and/or distinctive font. Given that your own logo is simply your site name in a 'distinctive' font, what was 'trollish' about what I said? Do you even know the meaning of the words you post?



                                                                                                                                                                                          What do I have to be defensive about?
