Got burned on my first logo design because I didn't ask enough questions
Met a guy named Mark at a coffee shop in Austin. He wanted a logo for his new food truck. I quoted him $100 just to get the work. He agreed, then kept asking for more sketches and changes. After the third round, he ghosted me. Never paid. How do you handle scope creep on a first gig?

Oof, classic Mark move. You ever notice how "just a few more sketches" always means "free work forever"?

Honestly skyler_kelly69, "free work forever" is the perfect way to put it, that's so frustrating.

Damn, that's rough. So did you have anything in writing at all, or was it all just a handshake deal?
