Get the Origin8 and don't worry about it. I used an Origin8 stem for a couple months while dialing my bike in and honestly, they're pretty darn nice. The logos are etched in I believe and barely noticeable. Very light and plenty stiff IMO. I'd actually say it's a better piece than the NOS Profile Designs stem I swapped it out for (length issue, not performance). I've sampled a handful of Origin8 parts while figuring out my bike and quality has not been issue at all. I've used their:

ProForm UL pedals (great platform pedals, just switched to SPD today)
brake cable stops (still using)
bar-end brake levers (still using)
urban aero seat (still using)
stem (no complaints)
