Right, if it's good enough it can quit advertising itself.
Really the only reason for a logo like that is to advertise to other people that you are wearing good quality. Upper income people who can afford actual high quality can't effectively 'show off' that way, so they usually content themselves with flying under the radar while still comfortably fitting in wherever they feel like, or showing of in other ways like cars and vacations, but mid or lower income didn't have as much leeway and have to take advantage of what they have available if they want to feel either part of a group or better than others.
Well that's one place we can agree anyway, trial and error are very valuable tools, they just need to be weilded carefully and not considered an error too soon. That makes it risky though.
I know i come of as pessimistic, and by a lot of measures i am, but usually only in comparison to the dismissive or condescending attitudes many people seem to have on the subject. Just build trains, duh... They work here, just do it there!
The backlash to poorly thought it arguments are usually people doubling down on their argument in the other direction, so I'd prefer to temper optimism and encourage actual conversation. Even if i may have trouble with that second part :)
