Ok, so I'm having to design this state by state Investment report for my company that is to be presented to congress.. it's all this stuff about taxes and uncompensated healthcare blah blah blah. So this is a pretty important presentation so i bang it out and its lookin nice! The feed back is, we have a "BIG" problem, we can not use this color blue. The executives are not going to like this, its to close to Carolina Blue. Can you make the blue more like "Duke Blue" cause the CEO is a North Carolina Duke fan.... I mean WTF, wehat does this have to do with freakin basketball??? 2009-04-23T15:32:46-04:00 17 2009-04-23T14:04:01-04:00 true 0 20431 false false 2991 4725 1 2009-11-21T15:50:44-05:00 228 People are idiots 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:05:10-04:00 535151 1661 2009-04-23T14:05:10-04:00 wow. 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:12:03-04:00 535221 8975 2009-04-23T14:12:03-04:00 I'm sorry that you're subjected to that. 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:13:22-04:00 535231 5537 2009-04-23T14:13:22-04:00 hahaha, what are they thinking?!?! ..kentucky blue for the kill! 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:15:12-04:00 535241 1876 2009-04-23T14:15:12-04:00 Make it teal. 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:16:24-04:00 535261 506 2009-04-23T14:16:24-04:00 Just make sure to include plenty of starbursts.

Sometimes you just gotta bite your tongue even though you know requests are ridiculous and trivial. In my agency one of the marketing VPs kept talking about our new rebranding strategy and blah blah blah. All we have is a new logo which does NOT equal rebranding. Had to bite my tongue many times 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:34:36-04:00 535471 9002 2009-04-23T14:34:36-04:00 Cornflower blue tie. 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:42:06-04:00 535521 6468 2009-04-23T14:42:06-04:00 I went through that ALLLLL the time at Century. Marketing always tried to tell us how to do our jobs. I know EXACTLY how that feels. 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:42:44-04:00 535531 1226 2009-04-23T14:42:44-04:00 I would be pretty upset at this request as well. 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:44:07-04:00 535561 6141 2009-04-23T14:44:07-04:00 I've been wanting to get Carolina Blue tattooed on my ass. Don't change the coloring. 20431 Post 2009-04-23T14:44:40-04:00 535581 10501 2009-04-23T14:44:40-04:00 You should try working for companies in Glasgow. With the whole Celtic & Rangers football thing, one half of the city won't allow green anywhere near their corporate colours and the other won't allow blue. In fact even neutrals don't want to use them for fear of being seen as bias to one or the other and potentially losing business. Bear in mind though that this is a city where Rangers staff took all the green straws out of the food outlets. 20431 Post 2009-04-23T15:24:21-04:00 535951 71 2009-04-23T15:24:21-04:00 <blockquote><cite>steven said:</cite> You should try working for companies in Glasgow.
