I would LOVE a client like that… add an unlimited budget, and it would be perfect client.

I’m working with a client like that currently. It really is a rare and amazing thing.

Yeah, I agree with Chris. But if I did find that client, I’d probably be very skeptical, too.

I wonder how many of them still exist in this world. It is hard to find educated client.

If I ever have a client like that, I’ll probably just end up messing it all up.

Wow, what a dream.
I am currently working with 2 clients who have the “make my logo bigger” syndrome.
Any ideas on how to TACTFULLY combat that?…..

Since I switched my client base from general/open-to-all to a more specific religious grouping (I specialise), I have found an sudden change in the types of clients. Mainly that they pay up quickly, do not delay you nor like to be indebted to you. This is probably because of their faith, where they fear being indebted to a person in anyway, so want to make sure they clear their name as soon as possible. But this works well for me.
Although they are good on the money front, they are still the same when it comes to what design is…

It reminds me of my first 2 clients.

Haha. Most of my clients are like that, actually.

I, too, have one of those clients. Of course now that I’ve uttered it, he’ll disappear.

Maybe the client has been really researching on freelancers or better yet, he must have been to FreelanceSwitch!
