just curious how brand conscious jumpers are.
do people like logos and being affiliated with a company or not?

I watched a jump from a local B. and when the jumper opened is was an asylum canopy, with the big A on it. And it looked sweet. That being said I think it should come with sponsorship, its a pride thing to be a chosen jumper for that brands "team". Although as I said in the last forum post. The Badseed canopy is coming with a full logo on it. And being a Vegas joy born and raised, its nice to show loyalty and support to our local guy, as well as showing off son new gear to the sport.

The mayhem does look pretty rad, until everyone has one.

I don't like brand names all over my container.

A skydiving/BASE friend of mine requested the "Wings" logo not be put on his custom container which was standard, no extra charge. Naturally they asked.......why? He told them they would need to pay him for their advertising, that he was not going to advertise for them for free..........his container did not come with a logo on it.

Most items no.

My base gear? My vendor of choice can tag it all he wants.

my red and black fox with the big FOX on the bottom skin has caught my eye more than once on tv. I loaned it to a friend at bridgeday and there was a freefall conopy collision.it never really inflated but I could see the big fox logo in the video.that was cool.

ironically i'm drinking a RudeBull right now.

anyway the OP probably (im assuming) was asking in the sense of "ID"ing yourself . like Tattoes and gandbangers.

i never understood this,,,, only in the sense of the activities one chooses to do...


tag your it... maybe not this time.... but YOU will be remembered...

it's always better to blend in and not be noticed.....then to be......
