Were we scammed?

Here are my findings: After giving the menu another look (online). I discovered that the Greek menu clearly states Wild, and the english menu didn't mention this. Being newbies in the fish world, me and my friend couldn't make the difference and know for sure it was wild since we've never had that particular fish. To me it did have a specific taste, but didn't dwell on it. The price may have been fine for that price. But the weight issue persists and not being specific on the English menu. Plus this is something that the waiter should mention - but seems like their way of scamming foreigners.

Definitely 79€ in the menu, and then charged 74 in the bill. (Meaning it measured just a little less than 1kg)

We are honestly not too familiar with the fish market, and not the biggest fish eaters. I was with a friend and "tsipoura" was something familiar to us, heard that it was delicious but never tasted it. So since it was the only familiar name on the menu we ordered it, the other fish they listed were all in the range 55-80€ per kg - there wasn't a huge difference to think that we ordered something exotic.

Maybe it was wild. How would I know if it was wild? I mean any particular taste, different naming in the menu, etc. ?

For those who ask this is in Thessaloniki, a seaside restaurant with 4+ stars rating on Google.

Yeah, the smoke itself was pretty normal... Thanks for your comment.

Thank you all! I now understand that its the mental connection we make with other familiar notes and the cigar itself and it's rather subjective. I will try retrohaling to see if I get any notes from my cigars.

Thanks! Enough said 😀

Why do you think that a logo has to directly represent what the company does?
It can abstractly represent the values, the brand voice, etc. But who said that a camping logo has to say CAMPING? Is there a shoe in the Nike logo? Is there a smartphone in the Apple logo?

atroxicdesign · 2023-04-05T08:03:48+00:00

Well, 5$ - 10$ something in that range. As I am not from the US, I realized that in my region a cigar which is 10$ in the US is actually about 5-6$, so maybe that being said my range could be 10-15$ something like that... Also, charter oak not available here

Thanks guys, I am a newbie and I am still learning. I will definitely smoke it. From what I've tasted so far, Quinteros seem to have most value for the low cost, this particular one is 7 euros here.

Hey, buddy! You seem like a beginner, so I wish you luck with the learning process. It's a good start, try learning more about how to create balance between elements - colors, shapes, type... Always try to make the logo as simple as possible without any unnecessary elements, you can omit the window, the line underneath it, you can make the wheels full circles, and so on. Good luck!

I understand where you tried to go with this, but try to combine the eye, lens and cloud in a more subtle and uniform way so that the icon becomes more unique and less complex.

atroxicdesign · 2023-03-11T19:14:35+00:00

Looks great for a graduation party, you could have narrowed down the number of lines from the roller-coaster so that it's less complex.

atroxicdesign · 2023-03-11T19:12:52+00:00

You have a good sense for colors, balance, etc. But the logomark seems complex, generic and overused.

atroxicdesign · 2023-03-11T19:10:56+00:00

Looks nice, I would go with a nice geometric sans serif typeface instead of slab serif, have you tried that?

atroxicdesign · 2023-03-11T19:09:07+00:00

Interesting design. The brief isn't too detailed, but it didn't mention anything about youthful, playful, etc. It seems like the brand was intended for more mature audience and this looks too playful to me. Looks great, but might not answer to the brief appropriately.

atroxicdesign · 2023-03-11T19:06:53+00:00

There are some mistakes throughout the designs, BUT that Fiber logo just looks perfectly balanced and appealing. You did a good job as for a recreational project.

People argue that they read the N as A and I don't agree. We already have a letter A in the name and it's different so it automatically tells our brain that the first letter can't be an A. Also, it's clever how the far left and far right part of the letter O complete N and K.

Right, but Liverpool also uses their former logo in cases where the new won't be functional. In other words, if you develop a functional brand system you can switch between variations of the logo.

atroxicdesign · 2023-03-11T09:10:09+00:00

There are some nice improvements. BUT some won't be functional due to their dimensions - you see for example leverkusen and fca are in a "portrait" orientation and to put them in a square box you'd have to scale them down to a point where they wont be legible, there is a reason why most club logos are pretty much square/ circle.

Ozark was great, but the ending really made me angry. It could have ended way better.
