    Weird you didn’t edit out the NASA logo. I thought you would consider this an ad

      I don’t consider NASA logo an ad, obviously.

      I consider you personally an ad thou.

        Yeah it’s not an ad. If you took a picture of a Ferrari you wouldn’t edit out the badge, because its part of the design of the car. Who even cares, anyways? Its a fucking spaceship, not a blender. Nobody is going to be a customer of NASA

        A logo its self isn’t an ad.
        Putting a giant logo on the side of a rocket for everyone to see and associate with something awesome, is absolutely an ad.

            Look at the comments above providing sorely needed context about what Steve is criticizing them for. OP is a complete jackass who actively removes credit from comics they post because they think it’s an “ad” for artists to watermark their work. (Which, technically, it is, just like the NASA logo here is technically advertising NASA; it’s just in the most benign way possible that nobody but a dipshit like them would complain about.)

            Absolutely is. Brand marketing. The more people see your name, the more familiar it feels. Even if it’s just on a random house.

        obviously

        Not obvious at all. NASA’s funding comes from elected officials, and their enduring popularity with the general public is a component of that. Works produced by the US federal government are in the public domain, so if anything, NASA was inviting you even more than usual to remove their logo.

          NASAs government funding depends on their popularity. Putting their logo on the side of a giant rocket is absolutely a form of promotional marketing. Also known as an advertisement.

        I’m genuinely curious. Where do you draw the line? Why is an author’s signature in their comic an ad but NASA logo in their rocket is “obviously” not an ad?
