The upcoming DROID Turbo 2 has been subject to a variety of leaks, giving us all sorts of details–shatterproof display, massive battery, and so on–before the unveiling in a couple of days. This next leak shows just how outrageous the branding is going to be on this device, as we have become accustom to on DROID products.
Pictured above is a gallery of devices. The first three units are the allegedly the DROID Turbo 2, and the following two are the DROID MAXX.
For some reason, on the DROID Turbo 2, Verizon has decided to slap its signature check mark logo at the base device between two split speakers. This is, of course, not the first time Verizon has gone with this in-your-face branding. It was subject to the Galaxy S4 Mini years ago as well:
There was quite a bit of outrage surrounding this branding on the Galaxy S4 Mini way back when, and we haven't really seen it since, until now.
Keep in mind that leaks like these aren't always accurate, so it's wise to take it with a grain of salt. However, the leakster, Evan Blass, is a credible source and has been right in the past, making us think this could very possibly be the final device. It's also very similar to the image Verizon leaked just yesterday.
What do you think of Big Red's giant check mark on the DROID Turbo 2? Is it overkill?

I think the writer is getting carried away about a simple logo. It’s not as if its branded how you would imagine a NASCAR sponsored phone would be. If the only negative ever said about these devices is the check mark logo, then I’d say Verizon has two winners on its hands.
Funny thing is that’s no longer Verizon’s logo or check mark any more.
Interesting observation….I had forgotten about that. I guess we’ll see come the unveiling, huh?
