First time ever!

I was referred to a potential new client by a very good and fairly new client of mine. So I worked up 3 rough ideas to get the ball rolling. I usually work with a new client more at the beginning, to find out what their interests are, what styles they prefer, color schemes, etc. This way I'm not spinning my wheels at the upstart. But this one didn't give me much to go on so I went ahead and gave them something to respond to based on the name and general "fresh produce" ideas rolling around in my head...

 

So, after striking out on these.... go figure... they asked for something "funner" and more whimsical, maybe including a lasso and some funner type, so I worked up these two...

To no avail...  none of these did anything for them. I have to say there really is a first time for everything and this is it for me. In 20+ years of designing, this is the first time I've ever struck out on a project. It's usually just the exact opposite... they can't decide which one they like better! So, I'm chalking this one up as a "first timer" and moving on!
