there are 9 NiK0N's logo, so I think they meant that Nikon is #9

I start to think that those Nikon logos were printed by Dave and Brian,

That must be the case :!:

Great, the fanboys are stenciling the public spaces with their favorite brands. Just what property owners want. What tools.
I'd prefer if they took their silly love of branding more 'literally' - i.e. they branded their favorite brand on to their bodies. Let's encourage the silly fanboys to get their favorite brands tatooed on to their bodies rather than polluting the public space. Branding and advertising is becoming too pervasive. Seems every inch is taken up with some corporate message. Remember the days we could pee in a bar without being subjected to corporate logos or pursuasion? Now even bathroom space is sold to advertizers. End of rant.

Philmar that is so funny as I was just thinking the same: I was at a nightclub last week where they actually installed motion activated video displays in front of the urinals! Let me tell you it's very disconcerting to be startled at a urinal by a "Hey you!..." after a few drinks!

Maybe there's a graffiti artist out there who goes by the nickname "Nikon"?
