Wonderful.

anyone put tape on the aligator logo on your t-shirts?

No, but I painstakingly removed it with a needle and a pair of nail scissors. It became too time-consuming in the long run, so nowadays, when someone gives me clothing with a brand name on it, I prefer to just dump it in the local salvation army bin.

Silly? Perhaps. But I prefer to show off with my own merits, rather than by surrounding myself with fancy brands. In fact, as a group, I find people who tote these brands so obnoxious that my doing so, even innocently, would automatically make me guilty by association.

I know shops that sell aligator logos for sad people who sew them onto no-name polo shirts.

Perhaps Fed users should buy red Leica dots for their cameras?

Oh those international band of Leica thieves are at work again I gather, I hope Interpol or James Bond are on top of things then.

A black sharpie works great for filling in the white writing on a black body, or covering the red dot.

i think it's a silly custom, to cover the name of stuff.

Joe,

There was a company that was making polo shirts with a pink pig logo on them in response to the alligators.

Come to think of it, the little pink pig would be a nice way to cover over the "red dot".

The red dot will lift off with a small sharp blade, and the white lettering can be covered up with your wife's eyeliner pencil.

Come on guys, if you wanna change the color of the engraved lettering use the stuff that's made for it. Lacquer Stik, a paint stick. Works like a charm, rub in, wipe off excess, ready.

Great for restoring the faded white lettering on lens barrels too.

In the May-June issue of LensWork, P.89, Bill Jay says, tongue in cheek, "...here's my advice on how to be mistaken for a serious street photographer as opposed to an amateur rube tourist:

1. Use an all-black camera. Stick black gaffer-tape over any white areas, such as the manufacturer's name..."

And he has six more suggestions as well...
