A client approached me to make a logo for their transport and construction company. The whole process was hellish, but this was where I lost patience.

Me: So here’s a work in progress for you to look at, let me know if there’s any-

Client: Wait, you drew on the trucks?

Me: Well, yeah? It is a logo after all

Client: I don’t like it.

Me: Okay, what about it don’t you like?

Client: I don’t like that it’s a drawing. How will I look professional if it doesn’t look real?

Me: I can put more detail into the logo, but you usually want to keep them pretty minimalistic

The client then sent me a series of photos of trucks.

Client: Use these.

Me: Wait, you want me to use a photo of a truck in the logo for your trucks?

Client: Yes! My business isn’t for children. This is MAN’s work. I want a REAL truck on my trucks, not some CARTOON.
