Good vs bad brand examples from @betherewearthat

A marketing professional responds to a user's comment by critiquing FIFA's 'sloppy' methods for covering non-sponsor logos at stadiums. She presents three 'good vs. bad' examples for seats, stadium exteriors, and condiments, offering more tasteful alternatives for each. She then pivots to argue that the best strategy is to do nothing at all, citing the Super Bowl as an example, and concludes that the poor cover-up attempts generate more negative attention than leaving the logos exposed would.

This looks better. It looks cleaner. It doesn't look sloppy. Number two is the stadium logos outside of the stadium. On the left, you can see the Levi's Stadium. See how they just put a tarp over it? On the right is what they can actually do is put a nice panel with the FIFA logo over it. This one on the right has much more of a wow factor. Okay. The last is condiments.
