The more I live here, the more I have the feeling people think I'm an idiot.
Probably they'll do it more if they know what's behind.
However, last month (on 16th of July) before leaving work I noticed a poster that adviced a kind of recruitment for musicians and bands to start the season in the pub I works in. Thinking it was a good chance to highlight me or anyway to get the address of the company that printed the poster to send my CV, I showed my interest to the owner and part of the staff.
They gave me their idea, I realized it in few hours with Photoshop and I presented a printed demo the morning after.
Result: they kept my copy, sent the sheet to their typography and stole my logo without asking me any permission or paying me for that.
My fault. I trusted them, hoping they gave me the job and I didn't put on it any copyright's written.
I passed over it and I took it as another lesson learnt on my life, till yesterday when the same guy that proposed me as graphic asked me to give him the original file or to teach him how to do that.
That was enough and I vented out all my disappointing.
That logo has a value of about €600/1300 and I ain't seen a cent, plus now it's all over around Wicklow with their posters taped everywhere and even on a paint on the courtyard's wall.
They want my psd? Good, gimme at least 6 quids. Otherwise, don't piss me off or they'll really have news from my solicitor. In that case, they'll have to pay me more than that.
Fuck sake.
