Take a look at the cover and lead article of the Sept. 6, 2001 edition. I think the functional argument in favor of logos (i.e. they serve as convenient shorthands to consumers) makes sense. However, it fails to explain the viral success of putting logos on everything.<br />Apropos Nike: they're just better at it.
