Artist Wanted


***!ARTIST WANTED!*** artist wanted (preferably graphic designer) to create logo for new daycare opening in Chatham (Chicago, IL)
 pls contact ************@*********.com if interested 



-------------------------------------------------------------

From: Alex Rickson
To: Amber

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

My name is Alex (although for artistic and pretentious purposes I prefer to be referred to as ‘A’, which must be written in Italics), and I am an experienced graphic designer, I have designed graphics for various companies such as ‘Arkansas Chainsaws’ and ‘Shear bliss co. ltd. est. 1987’. If you want I can whip something up quickly, just a basic design to start. Is there anything specific you want on the logo (e.g. Name of daycare, motto, colour scheme)?

Thanks
A

Hi A

yeah sure thats great, the daycare is called ‘Nurture’, there is currently no motto as we dont feel its necessary but if you wish to include it in your logo we may consider it. the prefered color scheme would involve white, red and blue. I look forward to hearing from you

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Amber,

Was the last email addressed to myself? Or is there an ‘A’ who’s name is spelled without italics?
Included is a little mock up of a logo using the colour scheme you requested. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks
A

Hi A

Sorry about the confusion with names. I don’t think that this is really an appropriate logo for the daycare, there will be children and their parents seeing this logo and I don’t think theyd want to see chainsaws and swords

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Amber,

This was just a brief mock up of one of my ideas. And if you read the motto, you will see that I specifically state that joining your daycare will make them into good people rather than chainsaw-wielding maniacs. Blood is also a symbol of humanity; it’s simply there to remind the children that they are human beings. The swords (they’re actually machetes) represent friendship.
Here is my second idea, I’ve taken ideas from modern art and adapted it toward a daycare setting. Hope you like.

Thanks,
A

hi a,

youre going in the right direction with the logo but I think the name should be in there somewhere. are you being serious here?

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Amber,

You’ve written my name with a lower case ‘a’? What is this bullshit?
Anyway, glad you liked my first two ideas, maybe I can mix them together somehow? Also, how much could I expect to be paid for this?

Thanks
A

-------------------------------------------------------------

hi a

please shut up about your stupid name, thanks. also, why on earth would I pay you for what you’ve given me so far?

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Ambum

See, not nice being called by a different name, is it?
I would like to be paid as I am a professional, and art is my profession during weeknights and every third Sunday of the month (that is when my creative gene thrives the most). It’s like if you brought up a baby to be like a Hitler/Gaddafi/Megatron hybrid you would still get paid for encouraging him whenever he pisses in a sandpit, actually, wait there…I now have another idea for a logo.

Thanks
A

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hi a

please tell me this is a joke? there is no way I am paying you unless you provide us with an actual logo that we can consider for use. and for your information I will not encourage a child for ‘pissing in a sandpit’ thank you very much!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Ambum

If that is the case I am going to tell Barack Obama that you kick children in the knees. I don’t see what is wrong with my first logo. Is the use of blue too subtle? You didn’t specify the emphasis of each colour in your colour scheme

Thanks
A

-------------------------------------------------------------

hi a

no its not because the blue is too suttle its because there are two monsters holding chainsaws!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Ambum

I have now edited the chainsaws.

Thanks
A
