Why do companies insist on cutting their logo into the metal on truck accessories?

So many products get ruined with ugly crap like this.









I hate that crap and refuse to buy anything with a cutout logo but it's getting hard to find. This wasn't always the case and seems more of a recent thing.

I get "why" and it was a rhetorical question. I just wanted to bitch about how fricking ugly it is.

I agree with you. I think it totally ruins the product.

Yea I agree. I just found some images through google to make my point but I was looking for a bumper for an old Bronco I may buy and they all have ugly arse cut-outs in the metal.

Gotcha. Along the similar lines I get irritated when I see people driving around with the dealer license plate frame and dealer sticker on the back. I mean the dealership isn't paying me for advertising.

Better question is what the hell are people doing with all that stuff

If you can drive a 2001 Toyota Hilux with 2000 pounds of gear for 500 miles across rivers and boulders in the Congo you dont need any of this stuff.

So you are buying it for the logo itself is my only guess.

I see roll bars are making a comeback and look great on some trucks IMO but the rack on that one ruins it.
