Have it both ways. Ghost logo, airbrushed with 2 coats of clear pearl. Invisible in the shadow but stands out in bright light.

I don't take anything like tat off. What's the point? First, I don't see it or notice it. And I also left my reflectors on too.

Without. If that is the one you are going to use. I might say different if there was another choice. Maybe a nice scrolled paint or something. But not that badge.

I don't wear clothes with corporation advertising, I remove all the logos possible from what I own. If they want me to advertise their product, they can pay me.

To each his own, the decision is yours to make and yours only, don't let public opinion rule your life.

Be sure to rip that label or tag off the back of your jeans.

Then again, maybe you wear those $10.00 ones with no id on them.
