E-yup!

Just had a designer put an event date well in the past on our gig poster. Feb 2010 ? WTF were you thinking dude?!

And we had it printed before catching the error. Effity eff eff. This must be why we don't pay them the big bucks.

Is this the gig down at the Shithole Bar?

The cool thing about PDFs is —and I don't use this enough— you can make them non-printable. So if a job needs to proof, you don't have all the information etc etc you can put dummy text in and make it unprintable so people have to come back to you and say "wtf" and you'll go "oh, right, I had a question about the date... give me the correct info and I'll get you a new PDF."

Not sure that's what happened in your case but it's always tempting to fill a spot with dummy text that looks too much like the real thing, and then no one catches it because it's right under everyone's nose...

This could also go in "things you thought today" as well as "annoying stuff..." but it has come to me, finally, that the only jobs anyone eats are the easy ones. If it's a little tricky at all, the customer signs off 9 times before it goes to press. If it's so simple it absolutely cannot be fucked up... oh yes it can!

Jerry KuyperÂs comment is:
To those of you with the scatological obsession, I might suggest you are looking for love (or logos) in all the wrong places.

DerekÂs comment is:
Guys, look at the star dashes again... It's a stylized W on top of an M. It's a bad attempt at a futuristic logo.
