Hello everyone, I recently recieved a few Yaqui 30mm white handle brushes in the mail and was wondering if there was a way to safely remove the decals on the handle. So far I have tried nail polish remover and and Varsol paint thinner and they haven't smudged at all. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Advice On Removing Logos From Yaqui Brush Handle

Oh wow, I see why you'd want to remove them. Eyesore.
Forget it and just use them. Life’s too short.
Why?
Oh that's an easy one: get a Simpson brush, it has no Yaqi logos on it. 
Anything you could use to remove the logo, including physical removal, would likely damage the handle material.
Set them on the counter with that ugly logo facing away from you and try to forget where they came from.

Have you tried using Flitz?

Sand paper.
But it won't be enough to make you think its a Thater.

Its not a decal that is stuck on, it is printed onto the brush. Guess the only way is to use an abrasive, like very fine sanding paoper, but you will always see the area where the imprint was as a matte spot.
BTW, why remove it??? You bought a Yaqi, so why not showing it??

But a Simpson sticker and put it over it
They look just fine. Enjoy your shave.
I'm with @Rudy Vey, embrace it, in 50 years it might become a collectible 
. I'm pretty sure my Ever-Ready brushes with the $1 price tag on the box were the Yaqi brushes of their day.

Thanks for all the responses guys, I think I have obsessive compulsive disorder, having the logos there really bothers me, I know it's a little crazy. I was able to finally remove the logo using Goo Gone after a lot of scrubbing, no damage or matte spots. Thanks again for all the support and I wish you all a wonderful weekend.
Nice result might do that with my Yaqi blue shaving mug which is a downsized copy of a pereira to a verrrrrry large extent
I have to say I'm rather impressed that Goo Gone didn't attack the plastic handle, it looks like it worked great!
I hope you don’t go sneaking into your wife’s closet removing all the Chanel and Prada labels from her clothing.
Nah... this dude is just fooling around.
He didn't do a darn thing, just took a pic of the other side of the brush. That logo is still there, if only he'd rotate the brush 180 degrees, we'd all see it.

No, seriously- here's the other side.
