To drainyoo. I hate wearing brandnames. I don't want to be someone's walking ad unless I'm paid for it. I certainly don't want to pay to be someone's walking advertisement. It is both aesthetically nicer and personally more satisfying to avoid branding. This next bit may come out sounding aggressive, but it's not meant that way: I don't particularly need you to understand, it's just something that I prefer. I don't expect you to feel the same way, or want to make you think the same, I just don't like branding. I don't own a single item of clothing (except for gym clothes) with branding, and I'd like to get my bike to be that way as well.
Don't get me wrong that's your right dude, I just don't get it. Branding is more than just an advertisement. It's just odd to me that someone would let something so meaningless bother them so much. There are brands everywhere, it's part of life. Nothing wrong with it. But I guess I'm the wrong guy to talk to since I work in advertising.
