I LOATHE logos, whether they're high-end or just say "Old Navy" or whatever. I don't like designs and patterns on my clothes at all. I generally wear very simple, plain basics. If I embellish, it's with texture (like a ribbed turtleneck, or linen weave, or chenille or angora fuzziness), or with accents like scarves and jewelry. But I like my clothing plain and simple and uncluttered with logos and words and the like. My boyfriend's stepmom got me a Coach signature monogrammed handbag for Christmas, which was very nice of her, but if she knew me better, she'd know that I don't like logos and could have saved her money. I think they just end up looking cheap, even when I know for a fact that the item isn't.
Good question, I dont buy them. My brand of clothes need to have an affordable price tag on them, regardless of who makes it. I will admit, recently I picked up a pair of really good quality jeans from Kohls for 90% off....only paid 4 bucks for them!
Kohl's carries a cheaper line of 7's and Vigoss jeans, which is designer but Kohl's carries the lower-end stuff.
The biggest problem with cheaper clothes (like H&M and Zara) is not the fit or the fabric but the production quality (ex. stitching).
Most of the affordable designer wear (Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, A|X, and so on) are made in Asia, often by the same companies that make cheaper clothes. The quality is better but not 4-5 times better than cheaper clothes.
The Old Navy stuff I've bought always falls apart quickly. Never had this problem with Polo, Izod, Tommy Bahama (even when bought second hand).
Another key difference in some higher end clothing is "cut". WalMart stuff (which I own, too) is cut for large, chubby people. If you have no figure then you will like it. But for people who work out or watch their weight, WalMart stuff is too baggy and wide.

Old Navy, GAP, WalMart, Target, and other cheap clothing lines are only intended to last ONE SEASON. At that price point they are considered disposable clothing.
