Too much, probably.

Maybe because they can get away with sub-standard *crap*?
Not even an effort to use a scalable font fergawdsake!
Apparently no proof-reading.

A very amateurish effort. I could easily do better, and I
don't even like to use a Mac. It would have taken less than
an hour to proof-read the text, fix the mistakes and change
the fonts -- i.e. to do it RIGHT.

I humbly suggest that the Treasurer tear up the invoice and
send it back with a letter telling that crowd (Symmetry
Design?) to get their act together or lose future business.

Also, I note that advertising agencies usually make some
effort to identify themselves as being the designers/authors
of a particular work. Is somebody ashamed of their work, or
just ignorant? (Don't answer that!)

What a waste of paper.
