    I don’t like branding either. I keep a small piece of black electrical tape over the “G” on my Pixel phone so I can’t see it.

    I remove logos & tags from other stuff I own too. Isopropyl alcohol, acetone, seam rippers, & scissors are all friends.

      Curious about the phone thing, why not just get a case? For example rhinoshield brands itself with artist so you could get some cool art while supporting a creator

        I don’t have a good response here. My existing case is transparent, so I could easily put some art in there. I guess I just didn’t think of it! Thanks for the suggestion!

          if you’ve got a friend with any artistic inclination, ask them to paint you something tiny. I love doing that, I have my friends’ art all around my house

        Not OP but I know some niche phones don’t have very good case support. For example, I have a Sony Xperia, and there are only 2 phone case makers I’ve been able to find who support them - Spigen and a brand called Devil Case based out of China.

        Pixels are usually well supported, but if they have an older phone, the case makers may have stopped supporting it, as well.
