If left uncontested, yes, yes, yes, and yes. All of those are ads, offensively and intolerably on things I paid for.

I don’t understand how everyone else seems to be okay with this norm. I dyed the advertisement on my rain jacket black to make it invisible. I disassembled my phone dock and ripped out the glowing advertisement. I sought out a foil-backed sticker to fully block the illuminated advertisement on the lid of my laptop. I ordered custom printed stickers to cover the advertisement on the frame of my bicycle. I ripped out the advertisements embroidered onto my shoes.

As I look around my house, I see sanctuary from our dystopia.

Slightly expanding on my previous comment, the only “individual billboard” logos that would seem justifiable in principle would b certain foss projects since the overall community benefits from greater awareness. With anything else, the increased brand awareness only serves to further enrich that company.

Is at least my quick assessment. Interested in your thoughts

Agreed, there’s a distinction between absentmindedly promoting commercial schemes and deliberately promoting causes that you think are worthwhile. I’m certainly not without agenda and several of the commercial ads I’ve covered are replaced by designs with socio-political purpose.

Good to make that distinction of intentionality (tho the people buying a good solely to purport “status” is a whole different topic lol)

Now I’m thinking about a world where the architect’s name/logo is massively and obnoxiously engraved on the front of everyone’s home.

Anyway rlly enjoy your comment you’ve given me some great inspiration

I've seen brass plaques set in the concrete advertising for driveway companies.
