For your first question, leave well alone. Am sure in time you'll want to sell the device,WITHOUT scratches and the likes...

For your second question, no can do! It's embedded into the device - no matter of reloading an OS, by another carrier would remove it - unless you know someone at RIM!

I have heard that you can scrape the logo off of your device by gently using a sugar cube. YMMV, I take no responsibility if you scratch your case up, though. The sugar is supposed to be soft enough to take off the logo without gouging the case material.

*edited by rrrebo- I meant to say "withOUT gouging the case!"

I also heard that the sugar cube works, although I've never tried it.

Sugar Cube will not work on new BB device as the logos are not placed on the device as they used to be.

The sugar trick will not work - Be better to buy a case from

Hmm, true, the logo is not raised up at all. From the disassembly pics, it does look like the logo is on a swappable plastic part, though. Anyhoo, my OEM rubber skin covers it up right nicely.
