I LOVE this idea, I've always detested unnecessary and ugly branding that only serves to detract from the aesthetics of the product.

HBO does this on some of their channels. The lack of any branding makes it look more premium in my opinion.

  I wish clothing designers would do this, too. I like nice clothes, but I absolutely cannot stand any branding. (I am specifically referring to "designer" jeans. All the jeans made of decent fabric seem to have retarded-looking designer-specific branding on them. For other stuff, American Apparel has treated me rather well.)

    That's one area where suits are superior.

    There's a simple solution for that, strip the brands off after buying. I do that to all of the stuff I have with brands on it as far as it is feasible, best make sure it really fits before you do that though! I'm not a billboard, and I refuse to have companies stamp their brands on me. A little tool like this: http://www.fourniturenparadijs.nl/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/690aceb3c18ae9e61e3748205b2b6d5a.jpg http://www.fourniturenparadijs.nl/components/com_virtuemart/... Is all you need, it takes just a few minutes and unless they factory has been nasty it won't leave any visible traces.

      "Branding is for cattle", is what I say about it. I also rip out the externals, if for some reason I even buy the stuff with it. I'm OK with the traditional maker's labels inside suit jackets, etc. In older times, a person's monogram would be on handkerchiefs, shirts, bedsheets, etc. (I guess it was helpful as a laundry mark). Replacing that with the sellers brand is distasteful.

      Problem with jeans is that the trend seems to be to sew some sort of logo into the pockets. Congratulations, you just lost a $150 sale...
