i like doing this to pretty much everything i own that can have the logo removed.

hate the coarse plastic they use now, where the acetone will sort of "polish" it and it will look ugly as fuck.

Yep, sometimes acetone will do that. But other times, another solvent like gasoline might do the trick. Or maybe a heat gun.

I see it as an engineering challenge, how to best remove intrusive logos from stuff. IMO, all this is part-and-parcel to the second part of: reduce, reuse, recycle. Also, sometimes certain logos can be clipped in very creative ways haha
