*Sigh* it's so hard to please everyone...

Today I learnt a valuable lesson... "There is just no pleasing everyone"

Me and my classmates are assigned to do a business proposal to start up a coffee Shop as our coursework, so due to my creative flair =) (Or maybe i'm the only person in the group who can use Photoshop ) I was assigned to create the business logo for our coffee shop that is named "Coffee Heaven".

Before starting, i asked them;
(Names were changed to protect their identity)
*Walau, I feel like some top secret agent sioK!*

G-Devil: So how do you all imagine the logo to look like?

Stuart : Well the shop is called Coffee Heaven... So i guess there will be some picture related to Heaven?

Pong: Coffee shop must use coffee bean as a logo la!

Ceng: Then we put wing lo, make it look like angel.

Yam: Yeah! Then give it a halo also to complete it!

G-Devil: *uh huh, making mental note* ok i will try my best...

Before i even finish the logo, i have already "Constructive" criticism NOT ;

Pong:Eh? Why our logo looks like Starbuck"s logo?

G-Devil: It's cos when we see a coffee shop logo we will associate it with a round shaped logo.Like "starbuck's", "Coffee bean" and "tea leaf" and "Oldtown"

When i showed them the finished product;

G-Devil: Ok guys! The logo is finished. Come take a look!
*A moment of silence*

G-Devil: So? how is this? Satisfied?

Cheng: Wo... The logo looks too "metal" de..

Yam: Yeah the logo is nice but the wings make it look scary...

Stuart: Yeah.. try a different wing. Something cuter...*Sketch the shape of wings he wanted*

G_Devil: huh? It looks a bit kiddish but I will try to change it..

Few minutes later...

G-Devil: OK! Logo version 2.0!

Yam: Umm... The coffee bean looks like it died and going to heaven...*Uanimous agreement*

G-Devil: What? But i follow like how you all described it! Fine.. I will try again...

Version 3.0

G-Devil: So how is this? Like Starbuck's we put a picture of something not related to coffee.

Everybody: NO!

Cheng: It looks like the signboard found at the toilet... Change again.


A few grumbles and more alterations...

G-Devil: this?

Yam: Hmm... Not bad, but the handle is in the way of the wings.

G-Devil: I can erase away the handle...

Pong: Then it won't look like a coffee cup anymore... Any other ideas...

*Sigh* A few minutes later...

Stuart: Here, maybe we change the cup to a 3D one...*Google Search for "coffee cup"*

G-Devil: There.. Done. But the cup handle is still in the way though.

Yam: Doesn't matter la! It loks great like this...

(Whispering of agreements)

G-Devil: *in his mind* When G-Devil does it, its just not quite rite. But when Stuart does it is a masterpiece? *Grumbling*

It's not that i'm not happy bout Stuart. In fact i'm overjoyed i don't have to alter anymore. I just like to complain silently to myself. No biggie...

There you have it... The moral of the day is," No matter what you do, Its never good enough to satisfied everyone. So Don't bother trying"

Departed some of his wisdom;
