A Logo on a Prosthesis Is Like a Tattoo You Didn’t Ask For

Companies love to plaster their logos everywhere. In many ways, the degree to which companies prioritize their logo visibility on products speaks volumes about the company’s priorities.

As an amputee, I like it even less when companies slap obtrusive logos on my feet or legs. In most cases, there’s very little we can do, so most of us just accept it.

> Like many other amputees, after seeing a cosmetic prosthesis that reminded me most of a severed hand, I opted for a more mechanical mien. But plastered across the top of the bionic hand I wanted, in traffic-cone orange and black, was the device’s name, bebionic.

It’s often not worth railing against the corporate narcissism, but it’s one thing to add obtrusive logos to products can people can choose not to use. Putting a logo on a body part someone has to wear every day? That’s rather shameless in my book.

I seem to have left pieces of myself scattered around the internet. This is my attempt to pull some of those pieces together.
