on the other hand - when your trailer/vehicle is marked, it can also help you on site. When security knows that you are a vendor (it really helps if they know you as a person as well), they are more likely to be lenient with you about where you park and we all know how fun it is to carry equipment long distances.

The other view is insurance. If they really want your equipment, they are going to break into any trailer/van, whether it is marked or not. Insurance rates are not going to vary based on the design on the outside.

I've worked as both a photographer and a DJ. DJ equipment tended to sit at job sites unattended in trailers until the crew got there to unpack and set it up for the show. The photography trailer is in a secure location, or on site (or traveling). I know this isn't universal, but it's another perspective.

I vote for the advertising.
