I pranked my client with a terrible logo

Hello everyone, today I created a logo for a VR app called VRtuous! It's an awesome app and the developer is super duper awesome! I made one good logo that I thought would get the idea of the app across nicely in a playful design. Then I made another logo that wasn't exactly the greatest design :P

[@vrtuos]

I can't believe I got fooled like that! Great work and many thanks

[@zimrimayfield]

no no! thank you man! What an awesome project you've created! :)

[@jjfecik]

You can tell how wonderful of a person you are by how you reacted to the bad logo 🙈✨

[@locika40]

aaa, jsem nadšená, že nějakým způsobem došlo k propojení Zimriho a zlatejch českejch ručiček! skvělá práce obou a posílám pozdravy

[@nathanwiles2719]

You used the wrong logo on your website you were supposed to use the first one!

[@flcn99]

@@nathanwiles2719 haha it would've been so funny if he had the first one as profile picture

[@sarahthebox]

Did Zimri come up with a new client proposal strategy? Give them one option SO bad that they have to go with the other one, and can't even fathom requesting any changes becauce it's already MILES better than the gaslight logo? Might have to use this....

[@zimrimayfield]

hahah! Oh snap Sarah, what a risky approach, please try it : D

[@jjfecik]

I was thinking the same thing!!! 👀🙈🤣

[@johku7638]

Genius.

[@antonstvo]

The approach itself is not so new. But the execution here is excellent, no doubt about it. There’s a chance though that the client will actually like “the ugly” one.

[@sidthebrown6080]

@@antonstvo BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. T_T

[@BrandonShep]

Dude this video is 🔥! The amount of anxiety that guy had when you showed him the bad logo was palpable 😂. Final logo turned out amazing though, and the editing was fantastic!

[@OMAR7]

I just finished watching your video about the minimal packaging, love both of your channels, hope to see a collab in the near future

[@TruthAndLoyalty]

my two favorite design youtubers in one place.

[@shiwakao]

your gaslighting skills are too good i felt so bad for pavlo while u were presenting the bad logo also his smile when u showed the hand flipped up LMAO

[@zimrimayfield]

I'm putting it on my resume : D Oh gosh, I did too, I almost couldn't do it : P haha Hope you're doing well Shiwa!

[@husnaghniya]

That's so funny lol I felt sorry for him haha

[@yessyskates]

This was delightfully painful to watch. The real logo was SO good!! Poor fella was being so nice about the gaslight logo 😂

[@lidiamariceladiazjimenez573]

😂😂😂

[@ronaldinho4eva1]

Damn dawg, you are an amazing actor! When you said, "Notebooks!" I laughed so hard. I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face.

[@glenxoseph]

Imagine in the future, when Zimri gives his client a legit logo, the client be like, "ah i see, this is another gaslight video!"

[@MustardDragon]

I was dying inside watching Pavel's reaction to the lame logo. Cringe stuff hurts my soul! 😅

[@CaptainNim]

Poor Pavlo haha, you could see he was so disheartened at first but your design talent on the proper logo design was excellent and you could tell he got way more excited. This was a fun video! Nice to see you still posting, would totally LOVE a house tour when all your decorating is done. Later, potater

[@zimrimayfield]

haha yeah Captain: ) OMG I would have felt so terrible if I only showed the fake logo, that would have been so heinous :P Later Tater!

[@Shineyourlightxo]

I'm so glad you couldn't take it either. I was melting and I suck at both of your talents. I was like "noOoO Zimri, tell him!!!"😅😂 I'll have to tell my daughter about his app.😊

[@GreyBeardGamingYT]

I think if you do another video like this you should reveal to the client that it was a joke in the call to get their reaction as well. I was kinda waiting for the big reveal with Pavel (can't remember if that's his name).

[@leobellevue3848]

Exaactlyyy ! I wanna see their face when they understand it's a prank

[@DadPoolReturns]

When you presented the brand extension, it was obvious the millisecond Pavel noticed the middle finger by the horror on his face. 🤣 Amazing work on the actual redesign. Big W all around and good luck with your venture, Pavel!

[@AndrewMaze]

I'm having an anxiety just from watching this, so imagine levels of anxiety Zimri have felt while presenting the bad logo)

[@3polygons]

As a graphic designer, I have to hit like even just with the intro... That's an evil idea many of us always have had (after so many projects with zillions of changes from people that don't know about composition, design, etc)... but never dared to do :D :D

[@zimrimayfield]

haha yeah, my suggestion is to not attempt it :P

[@CorsairMaverick]

I usually don't like "prank" videos, but this was lovely and ultimately so fun. I also love the redesigned logo. Thanks for inspiring me Zimri!

[@fuzzzycomics2334]

Great video and great logo!!! I think the only thing that would have made it better would have been showing yourself admit to the client that it was a goof. That way it feels less like you're "getting away with something" and better ingratiates you with your audience.

[@zimrimayfield]

Thanks Fuzzy : ) Yes that's true. I edited that part out to make the video shorter, but you're right. I'll try to remember that if I ever happen to do something similar again : P Hope you're doing well these days!

[@fuzzzycomics2334]

@@zimrimayfield Love you, dude! I'm doing great! Hope you take fan criticism as thoughts/ideas, not anything disrespectful! Keep up the good work!

[@jjfecik]

Wow!! I can't believe how fun & asymmetrically balanced the new logo is! The use of color to convey the function is just incredible dude!! If anyone hasn't accused you of being a genius yet, I will take the honor of being the first!!! 👑 Thanks for sharing Zimri!!

[@EggManJoe420]

You flipped him off with a piano. Now THAT'S skill.

[@OriginalRaveParty]

😂😂 I know that you are having fun with this, but it's a pretty good lesson too. Bad design is often just instinctive. It sticks out for the wrong reasons. Since you showed the process of how to make something look unresolved, you're helping others to avoid gaslighting themselves in their own design. If it doesn't have the vibe it's probably not the best solution 😊 Your real logo looks fresh, clean and fun.

[@RickyMartinVideos]

What a poker face throughout that presentation. Dang! Great video :)

[@BenjaminCode]

I was cringing from my heart to my butt the entire time you were presenting the first option... My god... Felt so bad but in the good way, in the funny side of the cringe! You're a genius

[@niksolina]

I don't know how you did it without bursting out laughing while explaining it, and then nailing it with I'm getting a vibe you are really vibing with it... 🙈

[@micah9462]

HAHA i screamed 90% of this video AHHHH i can't take itttt--- your being is just as artistic as your art, it's such a french kiss.

[@FluxAcademy]

Genius. you should get an academy award for keeping a straight face. I would die laughing

[@flcn99]

the "space theme" really got me xD

[@brunobarroso7722]

Make this video a series! 🤯This video can generate a new concept of presentation, present the bad and then the good project. Top video!! 🔝

[@Gerardo_Ponce]

I kinda was hoping to see the reaction when you tell him the first option was just a joke! The relief... LOL.

[@BenMarriott]

Loved how painful the presentation was 👌

[@PuraCiensualidad]

Exactly :S :S

[@3polygons]

Gotta say...now that I have watched the full video... kindda feel bad for the guy... he was super nice and gentle... and... Has good taste! only gotta see his immediate face expression when seeing the bad logo... :D :D :D Brilliant moment, tho. :D. My biggest fear was him praising the bad logo (happened to me. It's a horrid feeling), so, that reaction kind of was a relief to me.
