    I don’t want all advertising to disappear. If you are annoyed by businesses having branding you’ve gone too far. I’ve often seen work done and contacted the contractor through their site signage

      I understand that advertising and branding works. Some are more annoying than others, but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter if it’s a banner ad in a website, or a vinal decal on a truck. It is still an ad, and it’s effectiveness at influencing our decisions is not none.

      The question was “when did you last see an ad?”. I think my answer is fair. All the friggin’ time.

      The nice thing about subtle branding is that they can’t really lie about their work. A painting company can’t CGI a real-life house. You’ll get what you see and you see what you’ll get. Of course, over-the-top flashy branding is still super fucking annoying.
