5 Pixel Design

A girl came to me and asked for a logo with a heart in the hair. I said, ‘Of course. I don’t just draw logos — I put meaning and character into them.’
That’s how this logo came about.

I got an order for this logo, and after the advance payment (this time I broke my own principle and took half before starting, thinking I would get the second half after I finished), I started working. I’ve done this a few times before, but more than half of the people just disappeared, so at some point, I started working with full prepayment.
Well… I made the logo.
The client liked it, we made a few adjustments to one version.
She replied, ‘I’ll send the second part soon, I’m waiting for my salary.’
A few days passed, and it turned out I was blocked.

Lesson?
Sometimes you go the extra mile, trust, and even do more than promised, and in return, you get this.
But it’s not a reason to despair.

It’s important to remember:
1. Your work is not just an image. It’s labor, experience, and style.
2. You need to respect your contribution and set boundaries from the start.
3. Even if one client turned out to be dishonest — this logo is still beautiful. And that means it will bring in new, better clients.

P.S.
Be careful. Don’t be afraid to take prepayment — it’s not about greed, it’s about respecting yourself.

I did this cover a few years ago, like it was 2018, to be honest, I don’t like the way the text for this cover is placed, the client then asked me to do it that way, but I still like the details and the concept of a heart that is in the ocean in the form of an iceberg.. Work then I remember doing a lot😁
