Anyone notice how the Visa logo appears prominently everywhere but the Mastercard logo always seems to be worn out and seemingly leftover from the 1980's? Kind of weird considering they're both accepted virtually everywhere even still today. Turns out this is because Mastercard focuses on B2B and partnerships with other companies, while Visa remains focused on consumer and ubiquitous branding.
