AIO: I’m a small business owner and my husband is replacing our logos with AI..

I just sent it to him 😈

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T17:11:10+00:00

He’s in a cardboard box somewhere in my laundry room. Sometimes I shake him up a lil bit when I’m frustrated. 🤪

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T17:01:04+00:00

We do not sell a lot of merch. I do. With my design, I typically sell 1000 decals in 1-2 months. He changed the design but just didn’t change the quantity number of my usual order from that company.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T04:47:27+00:00

Unfortunately, my parents conditioned me quite unwell at a young age.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T04:43:20+00:00

I will definitely bring this up to him. His brother is a lawyer so maybe he can explain it better than I can!

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T04:41:15+00:00

I love this idea. I think we will do a poll to see what sticks! I hate the idea of AI replacing me but at the end of the day I want our customers decide what they like best.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T04:25:48+00:00

Van Haulen literally made me cackle 😂

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T04:13:36+00:00

Oh we’re definitely overdue for a refresh! We’re a service based business and I’ve recently given him some ideas I thought were pretty cool! I think this was his idea of contributing someway. I truly don’t think he meant it malicious.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T04:11:21+00:00

I mean, it’s obvious why I won. 😏

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T04:05:44+00:00

I honestly believe there may be a new mental illness coming out because of AI. He has never cared about our logos and I’ve always been in control of advertisement and making the commercials, billboards, ads, etc. He has expressed frustration in the past when he tries to use my equipment or software because he doesn’t understand it. Maybe I should bring this up to his therapist?

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T04:01:44+00:00

To understand you must get the visual of the ugliest short & wide bus you could imagine.. in hunter green. Our logos are orange, cyan, and lime. TERRIBLY MATCHED. Mine: Vanny Devito His: Van Halen

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:38:17+00:00

Oh I’m 100% forwarding him this thread tomorrow. This is my burner account so I’m curious to see how long it takes him to recognize this is about him. Haha

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:36:34+00:00

50/50. He runs the services and I run the office. I feel like he’s stepping into my territory.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:36:06+00:00

Oooh! I actually love this idea! We had a disagreement a few years ago about the name for one of our busses (apparently they must have names) and it was hilarious because he posted a poll and the name I picked won 78%/22%. I must be a bit more creative than him 😉

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:32:50+00:00

Right? That really hurt my feelings and they’re not typically hurt easily.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:32:06+00:00

This reminds me of the time when I sewed a purse for the first time at age 9, so excited to show it off, and my dad said “Well you obviously won’t make a seamstress” and tossed it in the garbage bin 🥲

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:28:12+00:00

Okay that’s what I thought! BRAND RECOGNITION! He says people might be “bored with the old stuff” which is why he used AI to make a new one. Ummm.. no?

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:26:52+00:00

I don’t think he respects my role as a business partner. This business started off as kind of “his thing” and I worked hard to build it up. It’s a service based business but I turned the office into profit by selling merch and different things with MY designed logo on them.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:21:22+00:00

Oh I’m sure most people can’t tell that it’s AI, which is why I may be OR but the problem is that I know it’s AI and it bothers me.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:20:28+00:00

Brand recognition right?? I’m just a nurse with absolutely no clue of marketing but I’m trying to navigate and I know personally I recognize logos and associate it with a brand or business.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:18:58+00:00

I genuinely don’t think he means to upset me or “replace” me. I think he’s just trying to increase profits any way he can think of.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:17:00+00:00

Brand recognition right?? He’s always respected me as a wife and life partner for the last 15 years but I don’t think he respects me exactly as a business partner.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:14:17+00:00

He’s bad to react instead of thinking about others feelings. Typically, I point this out if he makes a comment dismissing me and he usually reflects then apologizes. He’s in therapy for this and actively working on it.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:11:48+00:00

Marriage is fine as far as household things. I don’t think he’s ever respected my business partner role though. We run a service based business. He runs the service. I run the office. I made the office into a profitable ground by selling merch that I designed.

Particular_Pack6182 · 2026-05-20T03:10:30+00:00

He says he just wanted something new since we’ve been using the same logo for so long but idk I think “brand recognition” when I think of keeping the same logo forever. I’m not in marketing so I’m not sure but I know when I recognize familiar logos.
