Okay, this one has been bothering me for a while. It's not an actual example of the trope, just a coincidental logo. It doesn't illustrate anything.

We really should aim for something work-related. To start things out, on top of my head there is this comic (panels 2 & 3).

Other suggestions are welcome.

I think the current’s strength is that it’s an electrical tower that’s the Mickey ears. That said, the suggestion is more clear, although I think we could do better. The Space Marines from 40K are almost obscene about this depending on the chapter...I’ll see if I can find some examples.

EDIT: 1 to get it started. The sad thing is, the pic of Roboute Guilliman’s 30K model would be perfect but it’s already on the character page.

I don't think advertising saturation counts for this trope, as in the Buy-&-Large pic...this is specifically about a company/organization/whatever slapping their logo on any surface within eyeshot.

[up] Two instances doth not this trope make. Here's Roboute Guilliman with part of the full display his 30K model comes on, so it's distinct from the character page.

9 still isn't the trope...not nearly spammy enough. It would need panel 3 to start getting close.

Clock is set. Since crowners are still broken, we either need to come to a consensus on something or vote on whether or not to pull the current.

Would a photo collage of Hidden Mickeys in the Disney parks work?

That's exactly why I suggested both panels in the first place. It needs the punchline to illustrate.

I’ve hit the snooze as there’s something else I want to suggest but the uploader is still broken.

This could work. It's only one logo, but the placement where is located let's clear the level it reaches of spamming.

[up] Yeah, that’s too subtle to be an effective illustration.

Cropped the extra gunk off the edges of the Inquisitor pic.

[up][up] I like that.

Caption would have to be the obligatory Monty Python joke, I assume.

[up][up][up]It took me worryingly long to realize what all the "I" were about, but yeah, that picture is great. Certainly convey the ridiculousness of the trope.
