Three rounds of changes on a logo design - here is what stopped it

I had a client last month who kept asking for 'just one more tweak' on a business card layout. After round five I sent them a mockup with the final revision written in tiny text at the bottom. They signed off that same day. Now I always put a revision count and a deadline in my proposals. Anybody else use a similar trick to lock in client approvals?

Slap a "final approval due by Friday at 5pm or we start over" line in there too. Makes them actually read the damn thing.

Is that really necessary though @henry150?

27 emails deep into a resurfacing project right now and I swear people only read the subject line until you put a hard deadline on it. It's like the whole world stopped using their eyes sometime around 2016.
