There's nothing wrong with branding. Personally I think the branding on those bikes add to the aesthetics.
In the end it's just a logo and some text. Don't let it get you all bent out of shape.
Just a post above this you pointed out that you're the wrong person to discuss this with since you work in advertising. I get it, you like branding, you think branding makes bikes look better. I dislike branding, I think it makes bikes look ugly, tacky, and busy. I detest the aesthetics of the bikes he posted, and I'm trying to make my bike look perfect for me. I know you think I'm bent out of shape, but how many posts do you need to say that in? Calm down, we're not trying to put you out of a job.
Edit: Agree completely with Hxzero.
