seriously?

if someone is constantly extending the design process through frivolous revisions, the numbers are going to ad up. the designer should be compensated. if you're charging by the hour, you have no problem. if you're working of a fixed price, based off an estimation of time and these revisions double it, realistically the price should double. doing half the work for free is as stupid as asking for $80 to paste in a new tagline.

if you're working on fixed prices, work in a revision set into the deal. for $x they get y concepts with z rounds of design alterations after a concept is picked. after that you should settle on a charge for every round after. they'll either be smart with their revisions and do full rounds at time ironing out everything, or they'll pay for not planning ahead in the production process.
