The curious case of the Washington Commanders and Washington state

Phone ringing...

Fill in the blank Graphic Design: Hello...

Someone in the Washington Commanders team: Hey! Is this Fill in the blank Graphic Design?

Fill in the blank Graphic Design: Oh, yeah... yeah - can I help you?

Someone in the Washington Commanders team: Yeah... hey we need a design for our new team name for our mugs and stuff...

Fill in the blank Graphic Design: No worries - I can have something back to you in a few days...

Someone in the Washington Commanders team: Great! We'd like our new "W" on top of the outline of Washington

Fill in the blank Graphic Design: Cool! Email me your new "W" and we'll design a great new graphic!

Someone in the Washington Commanders team: Great... I'm sending it over now.

Fill in the blank Graphic Design: OK man! Just got it -- I'll just put it on top of an outline of Washington!

Two days later and $20K in design fees later...

Phone ringing...

Fill in the blank Graphic Design: Hello...

Someone in the Washington Commanders team: Hey! Is this Fill in the blank Graphic Design?

Fill in the blank Graphic Design: Oh, yeah... yeah - can I help you?

Someone in the Washington Commanders team: Hey man... this is the Washington Commanders... I just got your email with the design - looks great!

Fill in the blank Graphic Design: Who's this again?

Fill in the blank Graphic Design: Oh yeah man... sorry... did you get my email with the new design?

Someone in the Washington Commanders team: Yeah... looks great man!
