On the other hand I don't spend time and effort removing logos. That is
equally stupid. Far more obsessive is spending time and MONEY removing
logos. People who do that are worse than those who do buy the
merchandise.

Worse? I don't think so; different, yes. Obsessive, perhaps. I used to cut
the alligators off Chemise LaCoste, but then they became sewn in-
embroidered, perhaps. I've occasionally used a magic marker to blot out a
light logo, and sometimes not bought a product because of aesthetics which
were lousy solely due to logos/names.

I don't understand this at all. I LIKE the Nikon logo in big yellow letters
on my camera straps. I like my D200 strap best of all because it has "Nikon
D200" in big yellow letters. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to deface that.

Logos on shirts, etc., I don't care about one way or the other.

Get a "Sigma SD10" strap for that D200 as protection against theft.

Automotive stylists finally figured out how to avoid criticism: make
all cars look alike. When I was a kid, I could stand on a corner and
tell you the make of every passing car at 100 yards or more away...in
twilight...and with one eye closed. Now I can't determine the maker
of the car parked next to me until I walk around it and find some
logo.


The Honda Element is one fugly car yet sells well.
