But, in the day to day world, I wear a shirt & tie, no logo, no badge.

My rule regarding business clothing is to always dress in a way that the world can easily tell who is the professional and who is the customer.  That means dressing better than you think is necessary for the situation (I'm looking at you home inspections).  Name tags go a long way to add some level of "authority" to an otherwise normal business outfit.  

 

A name tag has led to many conversations with potential buyers and sellers for me.  They see the name tag and ask how the market is doing, then just take it from there.  However, I will note that this often backfires in the grocery store with confused shoppers asking me where the "such and such" is.

Funny you should ask today.  Our Broker gave us really nice golf shirts with our company logo on them and our club status (production level) on them.  I am wearing it today because I wanted to be casual, but needed to be in the office.  I don't find it starts any conversations when I am out in it though.
