The logos on my gear are not as bad as I thought when I read this thread.

Freedom Plate (no logo)

Waterproof drysuit (more logos than I like, but not too flashy)

Jetfins. It's hard to see the logo underwater.
 
Scubapro is “the” brand when it comes to scuba diving. For every person who doesn’t buy it because it has too many logos, probably 5 people are buying it because OF the logos.

I don’t know about Scubapro being “the” brand, they probably think they are, but I think it is quite possible to be completely outfitted and do the highest level dives with zero Scubapro gear.

Obviously true. But they have the marketing edge and that’s undeniable.
 
I feel your pain. Anyone raised a certain way cannot help being embarrassed by large prominent logos... they are not “classy”. I use a seam ripper to remove tags from clothing, or cut them very close.
 
My Xdeep Ghost has some xdeep and 'X's on it, but I don't mind. It even came with a sheet with several 'X' and Xdeep stickers, which I have no idea what to do with.
To be honest, I don't think it would have ever crossed my mind to return a BCD for excessive logo-ing though.
 
If you like the bc, besides careful use of a seam ripper or scissors, a little black paint might give you a custom “stealth” hydros.
