MelodicRain Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) What's your opinion of non-demo clothing with the store's logo plastered all over it and can't be hidden? I'm not talking about a tiny fabric tag with the store logo on the edges of a skirt, I'm talking about full-blown, font 24 letters plopped right in the middle of a top. Would you buy stuff like this? Personally I never buy things like this because: It just looks bad. I spent money on your stuff, I don't need to be an unpaid walking advertisement for your store, this is not RL where 90% of stores do this for marketing Easily mistaken for wearing a demo Edited July 11, 2020 by MelodicRain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazzie Tuque Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I so totally agree with you! I simply would not even consider buying anything like that no matter how much I liked the style. Nor would I consider making anything like that. To put my store logo large smack in the middle of a top, to me would be a huge ego trip and that would be all it is.. My store logo belongs on my store sign, in advertising, on event booths, but not clothes! (unless as you mention it is on a tiny little tag somewhere, not overly obvious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordyn McGregor Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I have seen it done on clothing that was then given away as a free gift at events as a way of promoting the store, but never as something actually being sold. Another example, Dead Doll currently has a competition going where you are given a logo'd shirt and you have to wear it in your entry picture. It's a nice shirt too btw. But no, I would not buy or wear logo'd clothing for the same reasons you gave. And also because I just don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talligurl Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Yes I would wear it, If it was well made and looked good. People walk around in RL with store names on thier clothing. This is SL so why not do the same with SL stores. I have two items in my inventory with the store name, both very cute. Of course both these items come with a style HUD so there are other options which do not include the logo, even though I have used the logo option for both.

Maitimo Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 No. I don't even wear freebies with the store logo on them, and I don't wear such things in RL either. Not because of any particular principle or objection, I'm just not a fan of that kind of style. I'd wear something with a club logo on it though, if it was a club I really liked and if it was nicely designed and something other than just a regular t-shirt.

I depends. I've owned plenty of items in RL that had brands written on them. Even these days one of my tops has 'TESLA' written on it. 😉 If it's the design to have done so, then it works. Demos usually have the word 'Demo' written on them... But this making me wonder if I could do a nice design that, as the finished item, said 'Demo' somewhere. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Sangria Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Nope, I don't go there. I don't wear it in my 1st and I am not wearing here in 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayrah Parx Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) I wanted to buy a really cute top a few months ago, but didn't just because of the unhideable brand name in the center. It wasn't even like a real logo or anything, it was just in a font and looked like it took them 5 seconds to put over the texture. It's such a waste when low-effort, unhideable prominent branding ruins something nice for no real reason like that. The strangest part is they did take the time to make the text white on dark colors and black on light colors.

Kyrah Abattoir Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 It really depends, If they are trying to make it look like the SL equivalent of some famous sports brands, why not, as long as it is done tastefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vihmakass Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 If that items has HUD with other options then maybe but if it is only option...it depends where, how and how big aka it is all about design. Also...if brand name is smth cute or cool. So there is many options what I look before i buy that kind item. But if item has just one pattern option and brand name is just slapped in middle of it without any creativity- nope, I wouldnt buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animats Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 It's a recent fashion trend to make logos un-subtle. The dress above is about US$3000. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wear something labeled "Chanel" when Coco Chanel rises from the grave and wears something labeled "McMasters". Okay, not even then. I find nothing about Coco worth advertising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylah Yaseotoko Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 If the store name is on any part of the clothing in a visible place I am not going to buy it, no matter how much I would have liked it otherwise. I refuse to wear visible brand names in RL too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxMare Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) If it`s a small logo, like a jeans belt tag or small logo on the side of a shirt etc, or if they made an effort and created a cool graphic with cleverly incorporated logo (not just plain letters), I don`t mind at all...in fact I find such solutions even add extra realism to the garment...On the other hand, if it`s just a huge logo that makes no sense with the overall design or god forbid it`s a real world brand knock off, with copyrighted logo or even worse, SL brand logo pretending to be the big rl brand logo (copied style, font, layout)...ugh, it`s like theft on top of theft and a ton of poor taste! @animatsI`m 100% sure Coco Chanel is turning in her grave cause of that abomination!

Zeotetra Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) If someone gave you a clothing that had the writing takashet would you wear it? There are clothes out there without the logo or writing it may be that the pattern or design is unique that it is not needed.

Eddy Vortex Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It's not much different than branded clothing in RL. If people want to run around as walking billboards, who am I to say? I would have more of an issue with the full price item being mistaken for a demo. I once demoed a cute suit with the bright glowy demo sign over my head with a binder clip with the store's logo on the tie, which I assumed to be a demo tag. Brought it at full price (it wasn't cheap) and found that logoed binder clip is part of the design. Pissed is an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animats Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I've made some logo wear for NPC workers. Lorem Ipsum. Your logo here. A placeholder used on my animesh NPCs until they have a role to play. Roller Freight! Worker at a freight hub. A Roller Freight sign was also on the building. GTFO Hub Loss Prevention. These NPCs are at a few GTFO hubs. They patrol, say hello to anyone who shows up, and have enough sense to get out of the way of vehicles. People making GTFO stops get the feeling that the hubs are live and in use, and their delivery isn't pointless. These logos on working clothes all have a purpose. They're not ads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is a totally different thing than plastering you brand logo on shirts to sell. But why not just use " your logo here" instead of making lorem ipsum look like a logo itself?
