I have a pair on my 78 Gazelle A-Frame and agree they are the most comfortable and best working lever out t here - which is why at one point I had like 3 sets. I'm actually thinking of buying a spare bar/stem to mount period correct levers on so I can swap back and forth quickly for times I want comfort vs period correct.
Another way is to use paint stripper. The logos are stamped on with paint. If you dab on some stripper it will dissolve the logos instantly. It will have no effect on the clear anodizing. A damp rag or paper towel will remove all traces of the stripper
