While I agree with you....your real world examples don't fly. Look at the car in front of you in traffic. Most of them have "shitty dealer Chevrolet" or something different on the back panel, above the bumper.

And most house builders, carpenters, tradesmen, etc put a professional sign in your yard while they are doing work on your house. And put your house in their photo album to show others.

But I've made them remove their stupid emblems/stickers from my car before I close the deal.
