Ever stare at a logo or text so long it looks retarded?

Been trying to get a logo sorted out for a few days. Looking at it for so long with so many different options, now everything just looks retarded.

My shit's all retarded, yo.

You're getting close...good micro-niche, plus maybe you can spin it into a profitable non-profit scam.

I get that after only a couple hours! So frustrating. And then you don't know what looks good and what looks bad after so long.

There's such a thing as "overworking" a design. It's happened to me a ton of times. When I hit the wall like that, I have to step away from it for a while. For me, standing in a hot shower for 30 minutes will clear my head and present a solution.

Lol yeah, if you stare long enough at a word you will sometimes wonder if it's even spelled correctly.

I don't understand your site. "Gimme Website", yet it has nothing to do with Golf. Is that on purpose? If so, please explain.

Time to make someone else look at it and tell you whether you've overdone it.

All the time... best thing to do is leav eit on yoru screen... multiple options if you have them... then go have lunch or fuck a tranny or whatever you do ;)

When you come back if it catches your eye or if a ertain one pops out... thats your logo... if nothing pops, keep going.

say the word retarded over and over and over again in your mind, it starts to sound really retarded and make no sense as a word eventually.

if I get to that point I delete, go watch tv and a bite to eat for an hour then start over. usually bang something out 10 times better in 1/4 of the time afterwards.

Exactly. The point is to not force it too hard, or you'll fuck it up worse. Gotta bail out and come back refreshed.

happens to everybody, i look at a word and suddenly the word and letters make no sense to me - and it's never a really complicated word.

i must have 3000 fonts on my computer, the fonts look so good when you see them on font sites but as I scroll through them looking for one that will work with whatever I'm doing they all begin to look the same or look like shit.
