Custom Pin blue ribbon

I'd really like an option to remove this without canceling my subscription to custom pins. The last bit of marketing I saw for BBM was all about 'Be in control' so why won't they let us be in control of this? I just feel like a doofus with it and wish it was optional. In my opinion it plays out like this:

With the blue ribbon:
"Why does your profile have that blue ribbon with the star on it?"
"Oh, that's because I have a custom pin instead of the randomly assigned one. "
"Oh... I see." [with a slightly disgusted look on their face]

Vs.
With the blue ribbon optional and turned off:
"Add me on BBM - here's my pin: _____"
"How did you get your pin customized? I want that."

I think one way sells itself, the other might scare people off. I would be so excited to hear BlackBerry were to get a new marketing / PR person. They really don't seem to get it.

On the other hand some might see it as a status thing, and like the ribbon. But yes the option would be nice.

Looool I agree. Does look a tad bit corny. Primary School Early Secondary School.
