What’s a stronger mainstream brand than the Obama campaign (same artist)?

Out of order... The “branding” that became Obey started in 1989.

But it took off in a resurgence in Obama era.

Two things having the same artist doesn't mean they have the same mainstream potential. As I understand it, the "OBEY" thing was distinctly anti-authoritarian. For it to become mainstream would be for it to become the subject of it's own mockery.

Maybe it started that way but it became a whole large corporate clothing line.
