How do you deal with client feedback? What happens when a client gives you notes on your logo? What happens when a client changes direction last minute? How do you design a logo for a company? What is the logo design process?
A logo helps identify a brand in the simplest way possible. It can convey emotion, reputation, and a plethora of other feelings about a brand. When done right. In this episode, Creative Directors Matthew Encina and Ben Burns face a huge dilemma – With only one round of revisions left, Josh Hamilton, owner of Hamilton Family Brewery, has expressed that he’s not in favor of the current direction of the logo. Ben and Matthew only have one more chance to get it right, and design something that makes the client happy, as well as identifies the brewery.

A note on Stylescapes:
The “Stylescape” (mood board) is the digital version of the old tear sheets in a client presentation. Because we are only using the work to educate and help our client understand the style it prefers, and then creating new and original works for the client once we understand this preferences in style, we are not recreating the already published works. Fair use under copyright law promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright-protected works in certain circumstances. In our video, we are using the sample material for reference and an educational experience, a use different from the original purpose of the samples, to sell products and services. This is the type of use that is is permitted under copyright.
