Freak flag
A client calls our studio, asking us to replace the flags outside his company building.
Client: I want to have two flags on every flagpole.
Me: Okay… why would you do that? There is only really room to attach one flag.
Client: Sometimes the flags aren’t readable because the wind is blowing them in the wrong direction.
Me: Okay…
Client: So I want a second flag that points in the other direction so you can see my logo from all angles.
Me: Right, but - every flag turns with the wind. The two flags will catch the same wind direction.
The line goes quiet. I can HEAR him thinking on the other end.
Client: Ok, let’s go for one flag at each pole, but make sure people can see my logo from all angles.
