One's an active decision and one is forced upon them. They are not the same.

One’s an active decision

There are not so many quality notebooks without any brand-logos on them.

Also wearing a brand-logo when you have the choice not to, is kinda cringe.

I don't necessarily agree. If a brand makes high quality stuff I'm not gonna avoid them just because they put their logo on their stuff. I have a kickass Adidas backpack from 2014 that is by far my favorite, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna get rid of it just because it has an Adidas logo on it.

I also have perfectly good clothes with various brands on them, and I'm not just gonna throw them away because that's wasteful as hell. I don't go out of my way to buy stuff with brands on them, but that won't stop me from buying something I genuinely like and find to be high quality.
