Which get signed by the client before work commences. It can demand that the designer gets first dibs at revisons. 99.99% of the time, It's probably not worth making a stink about it if the terms aren't followed, but the outlining some may help client awareness and forethought for such issues. The Graphic Designer's Guild publications are very helpful. Sometimes I submit terms of use with the estimate. Which get signed by the client before work commences.

This is such a great post because I think all designers worry about the same thing. One thing that helps a little is to educate the client with the reasoning behind certain elements of the logo. Once they know why certain elements are placed in a specific spot or are in a specific colour, they will cherish that and won't want to see it changed. Ultimately, though, I'm with you. I accept that once I deliver the logo it's the client's to do whatever they wish with it. Hi John!
