Why I can't get a job #2




Continuing on in my explanation of why I can't get a job here is part two:


This is a logo I was working on to bid for a job for a flower company. It was meant to be both elegant, and accessible. The font was selected to present an image of casual professionalism, a brush script that isn't meant to look like it was written by hand, but crafted instead. This turned out all well and good, and ultimately I almost got the job. The request came for a door sign, something that would draw people in and make them feel welcome. I was stumped. What would draw people into a flower shop? So I sat down and thought. Who shops at flower shops? Husbands in the dog house that's who. Why do they buy flowers? To get back in good with the wife that's why. What is the one thing all family men want? No family, that's what. And so I assembled my masterpiece, a gimmick that would bring in the customers and a sign that couldn't be misunderstood.





Apparently killing children suddenly isn't PC, and a company promoting such behavior (or selling it for that matter) is not a friendly business (or legal for that matter).

"The James company" The logo looks more like a rising sun than a flower. I'd perfer this Flowers by James. the slogan would be
this" All arragements done by legally enslaved brats a.k.a childeren "

Ohh i like that concept
Please Ignore the slogan part
