After enjoying my 2009 Wrangler 2 door for 13 years, I've finally upgraded to a 2022 JLUR. And, once again, I'm In the process of looking for upgrades and accessories. This time around, I'm wondering why do so many companies make great products and ruin them by adding huge logos on them? To me, it ruins an otherwise great product and I can't understand why (after paying full price) I would want to be a rolling advertisement. Sorry for the rant, I'll get off my soapbox.. Just wondering if others felt the same.

I totally get what you are saying. Like fer sure. I don’t even like small logos. I replaced the clip on my carbon fiber handled S35VN powder metallurgy stainless blade Zero Tolerance pocket knife so that their little logo would not show. But ya gotta allow a man his indulgences. No way is the OP’s rant gonna stop me from wearing my wife’s pink Juicy Couture butt hugging fleece pants to the next Jeep Jamboree. Up until now it’s been a family secret but now I’m ready to show the world. Watch out here I come. Quadratic for the win!

Yes! But they were much smaller than anticipated.

<Edited> Never mind, it was mean.

Then I MUST know what you edited out!

Yeah, more or less. I’m trying to take the high road, here, and be more respectful/ behave myself ??

Yes, it pisses me off as well. I buy their product and pay what they're asking for it; but, I don't also want to be forced, coerced, or finagled into providing unpaid advertising for them. Yes, I get it that lots of folks want to show off the logos as status symbols demonstrating what they spend money on; but, those folks are dog poop.

Now where's the fun in that?

I'm guilty of rockin' parts w/ logos, my DV8 rock skins and Smittybilt fender liners have bold cut logos. Don't prefer having the logos, but I do like the liners that you can paint the inner section to match your paint color. I guess there's tradeoffs. Luckily my Quadratec front bumper, Smittybilt rear bumper, and Rugged Ridge floor mats have logos that are small and barely noticed.

American Adventure Labs logo isn’t to bad. And you can have the mesh powdercoat Ed any color you want, even the same textured black as the liner. (Liner can be done in any color you want or you can get it in raw aluminum). If the logo mesh is the same color it would be real close to disappearing unless you look close.

I bought these for my daughter for christmas and she asked for the logo to be rubicon red. They look amazing and the logo isnt glaringly obvious, even with it being red.

...and bc the lettering is raised, I can't just cover it up.

Hm, sounds like the perfect thing to mill off, especially if they are flat. But you're going to need a large mill if you have to put the entire wheel on the table.

As long as it’s not enormous, tacky (skulls etc), or loudly colored, I generally don’t mind.

 

[Astro Jeep]

I absolutely hate large logos on products. I don't mind small unobtrusive logos that are not easily seen, or those that can be removed or painted over to make them blend in.

Only because it's below freezing in Iowa right now

I mean think about it, how did you find some of your stuff? By checking out other Jeeps, seeing something you like, and seeing who makes it. At least that’s what I usually do. This isn’t an industry space that buys TV spots.
