My first logo design job in Austin went sideways when the client wanted unlimited revisions.
I quoted $150 flat, but after round 8 of changes, I was working for pennies. How do you guys handle scope creep on a first project?

So did you have anything in your original quote about a limit on revisions? That's the first thing I'd lock down next time.

Yeah, I learned that the hard way. My last contract had "two rounds of minor revisions included" spelled out, with a clear hourly rate for anything after that. It stopped the "just one more tweak" emails real fast.

Honestly, is that level of detail always needed? It feels like adding rules for every little thing just sets a bad tone from the start. Most people are reasonable and don't want endless changes either. Why treat every client like they're going to be a problem? If someone does ask for too much, can't you just talk to them about it then?
