Logos and Endorsements

[rhankc]

I think name brands sell...when homebuyers see the stickers on the windows of a new house, or the name on the refrigerator etc. they imagine a standard of quality.
I am incorporating company logs on my drawings, My own and if the project is in conjunction with a contractor, developer, etc. their logo is placed in the title block.
I often spec certian manufacturers and am very loyal to some of these providers, but I have not included their logos on any printed documents. Being the perception of quality is sometimes associated with the label, does anyone see any reason or merit to using a manf. logo in your drawing? Their name is already used, so the logo would actually be eyecandy. Do the manufacturers ever pay for this type of representation?

I don't know about the U.S., but you'd be lucky to get paid by a brand for doing this in the UK. Also, you should get the brands permission before duplicating their logo
