Client ghosted me after 3 rounds of logo revisions last week
I was at my desk in Austin on a Thursday afternoon, waiting for feedback on a logo I'd tweaked 3 times already. Then the client just stopped replying to emails and Slack messages after I sent the final proof. Turns out they went with a template from Canva and never even told me. Has anyone else had a client vanish like that mid-project?

Yeah, "Canva's the new ghosting buddy" is way too real. I read somewhere that a lot of clients think templates are "good enough" after seeing a few rounds of custom work, and they just disappear without saying anything. It's like they don't get the time we put into those three logos, which is honestly pretty disrespectful. @vera_robinson36 you're right, it's not rare anymore, I hear about this happening to designers all the time now. The worst part is they never even let you know they're going with someone else, so you just sit there checking your email for a week. It makes you question whether to even start a project without a deposit that covers that initial round of work.
