As part of my job I help new companies on startup.

I wrote to a graphic design company, explaining what a company did and asking them to design me a logo-I told them the company name and purpose and gave an example that I quite liked but added 'A little more professional looking, the writing 'gets lost' a little in this one'.

They agreed they'd come up with a few designs and I could choose one which they'd then format and send to me.

Today they've sent their proposed designs back. 6 altogether.

Every.Single.One has the company name and then 'Gets Lost' written underneath it.

In fairness in very prominent letters that certainly stand out.

You obviously chose to brief a something other than a genuine and capable design agency. In your line of work, I'm surprised you don't have at least one trusted supplier for this. Didn't you look at their portfolio? There's precious little more painful on the eye than people pretending they're designers when they aren't. But it isn't hard to discern. Were you looking to just get something done for the client very cheaply?

We have many but as I put in a previous post, the company made an 'ethical decision' to support smaller companies, some time ago. I will feedback about the work from them in the next staff meeting. I didn't have any input in that decision.

And no, customers choose from one of 4 packages. The same 'list' of designers is used no matter how much they've paid, they just get extra 'products' the more they pay.

I started reading this thinking it wasn’t all that funny until I got to the ‘She had no horses, but thought she did.’ Can’t stop laughing now 🤣🤣🤣

I'd really like to know what whoever wanted written, instead of that sentence?! I understand where the rest of it could've come from and what it could've been confused with, but not that bit!
