I spent 4 hours trying to pick a font for a brewery logo before realizing I was overthinking it.
The client just wanted something simple and legible on a can, not a custom typeface with hidden meaning.

Man, I used to get stuck on stuff like that too. I'd spend forever on tiny details nobody would ever notice. Like picking the exact shade of gray for a background. Then I realized most people just see the big picture. If it works and looks clean, you're good. That brewery client probably just wants to read the name without squinting.

Yeah that "tiny details nobody would ever notice" part hits hard, @milam42. I've wasted whole afternoons on stuff that just disappears on a phone screen. You're totally right that most people just see the big picture. It's a tough habit to break but so freeing once you let the small stuff go. The client just needs it to work and look clean, not win a pixel perfect award.

See, I'm the opposite. Those tiny details are what makes a design feel right to me, even if most people don't notice them directly. It's like the difference between something that's just okay and something that feels solid.
