Although I am an Apple fan, I'm slightly annoyed that when I receive a message from someone, the default tag is "Sent from my iPhone." The Blackberry adds a similar tag. Why should I care what type of phone the sender is using?
Once again, an obnoxious logo.

Logos Do Not Have to be Obnoxious
Although I generally don't like logos on anything, there are exceptions. Discreet symbols are often decorative. Take, for example, Apple. Besides producing excellent hardware and software, the company is discreet in advertising its presence. Here's the logo on the front of my iMac, for example:
It is a polite reminder that Apple made the thing. Since Apple's products are visually distinctive, in an attractive way, a subtle logo is fine. Imagine a big APPLE in place of the logo. Does anyone think that would be an improvement?
Other computer manufacturers are less pleasant. Here's the bottom of the monitor from a Dell machine, for example:
In silver against black, the logo stands out obtrusively.
That's one more reason why I've been a Mac user since 1985.
