Obviously if they are beside a paint shop you won't get mistaken, but the colours, size, style etc. is not dissimilar to many other office buildings.
Like I said: Poly Optics is in street 13.
I'm only suggesting that a blue coloured building with mirrored window frontage is not as unique as you maintain and a good standout logo may help them.
But, high five you, you're a star.

Client: I'm not happy with this logo, it's too plain and indistinct.
Jaap (Advertising Executive) : Buy some fucking glasses.

Client: we need to remove this big bird thing.
Advertising Exec: no worries, we got it, here you go.
Client: wow that was quick, hang on a minute you've just written our name again in the middle. My kid could have done that.
Advertising exec: it's a winner, you're welcome. Here's our invoice.
Client: 3.5 million - isn't that a bit steep?
Advertising exec: HE is my uncle
Client: cheque or cash?

Can the government mandate ACLEDA be more customer friendly? Never seen a bank that's so good at generating paperwork.
Don't worry, be happy.

Of course they can. Just send an email to your local elected governor and he'll start the process.newkidontheblock wrote:Can the government mandate ACLEDA be more customer friendly? Never seen a bank that's so good at generating paperwork.

Funny you should say that, I tried to open an account with them years ago. I asked them what exact documents they needed to see, and double-checked it. When I came back they asked for some other stupid shit they hadn't mentioned, so I went across the road and opened an account with Canadia instead.

Being a design type dude, Lucky Lucan will know that your logo is just a minor visual part of this thing call brand, particularly in service organisations like banks. A bank's brand is built on the way customers feel about their product and the way they manage their product through dealings like LL mentioned above. THAT crap service - and there are dozens of similar examples on 440 from Acleda - is the true manifestation of its brand. The logo is irrelevant - it's like putting lipstick on a pig.
LL commented on our crap logo too. It was developed in one of those online pitching auctions; Sambo put up the brief, and designers around the world made submissions and I suppose Sambo and KiR chose the winner. I quite like it, although agree the Angkor Wat thing is naff and unnecessary.
As for the 440 brand . . I'd say its key brand attributes are gentle, nurturing, loving and tender.

My advice was to buy glasses.
Your Client apparently is somebody having a contractual relation with Jaap.
