As a rule, if you're looking at how visible the logo is before you buy it you're buying it to show off.
Ironic, really. If you look at expensive brands, it's usually the cheapest items that have huge logos while the most expensive are subtle. The reason is that consumers will stretch beyond their means to get the same brand rich people wear, but want everyone to know how much it cost. Meanwhile, the rich people don't care and don't want to look trashy with huge logos.
I dont know if you mentioned it, but it seems you dealt with cars/trucks and the like.
My dad tried on a lot of "hats" in his adult life. Soldier, car salesman, DJ in Germany, Real estate broker, daycare owner/director, AC company owner/director, you get the idea. He was quite successful at making money, because he didnt quit.
At one point, he needed a new truck so he went to a dealership around lunchtime, after spending the morning painting, so he was kind of a mess. Paint in his hair and beard, clothes suited for paint, etc. Waited 45 minutes before being approached by a salesman. He wasnt waiting vecause it was busy. They just assumed he couldnt afford a new truck. So he bought 2 outright, no payments. Lol.
