Another failure. Of a very different kind. Weeks ago, I was wrongfully terminated from one of my favorite places on earth, .

As New Mexico has virtually no workers rights, Iโ€™m pretty SOL, but itโ€™s not something I had the energy to fight.

I was passive aggressively fired via HR by a manager that, after 2 months of working ~60 hour weeks, could still not seem to get my pronouns right. (I expanded my pronouns to they/he so it would be easier for service workers.)

The very day I was โ€œreportedโ€ I had complained to this same manager about said pronoun use. I donโ€™t believe these two events were coincidental.

Hire trans people. Respect their pronouns. Listen to their honesty. (I wasnโ€™t given the chance.)

Iโ€™m looking back at the year and taking notes from failures (and successes).

And just days ago, I was watching Bob Ross paint happy trees when he said, โ€œand remember, there are no mistakes ... only happy accidents.โ€ (Although I donโ€™t believe theyโ€™re always happy. At least not initially.

This logo was a failure that still confounds me because I thought the communication was spot on. This situation also perturbed me as she is currently using a bastardized version of this.

I was really into this logo, but it didnโ€™t move forward unfortunately ๐Ÿ˜”. There are a number of reasons for failure in the logo design & brand development process. I feel itโ€™s important to post both successes and failures. And if anyone wants to start a biz with Icarus in the name, HMU for a deal! Haha ๐Ÿคท

Tip for designers: make sure to require a 50% payment at the onset of the project to avoid getting royally screwed. ๐Ÿ”ฉ๐Ÿšซ
