I'd definitely cut it off. Maybe put a border all around the panel to offset the missing material. Just my opinion.

For those who are fond of the label, leave it on.

Same here, the hunters in this area would love a quilt that had RealTree logo on it....very popular with deer hunters.

i think it's another way for the company to protect it's rights to that image. people copy everything and think nothing of not giving credit to the originator. at least it's pretty inconspicuous. think for instance of harley davidson--not exactly subtle, but you know who to credit!

The panel is so beautiful and life-like but the logo is distracting. I would cut it off and use the panel accordingly.

I don't like it and I don't buy anything that has advertising and I'm paying for the advertising. But don't cut it off as you will then need to resize your pattern. Instead buy some fabric with leaves, or branches that you can either applique or fuse over the insigna.

Well, if it's a poplular logo with the hunting/outdoorsman-person crowd and I was giving it to someone who liked the brand then I'd leave it on.

Half the T-shirts, a bunch of the purses and probably 3/4 of scarves have a logo on them. It bothers me that people pay to wear advertisements for Cokes or Gucci or any other product. But those things have become status symbols because of the cost of the product. Buying and wearing tells the world you have the money to do it.

What ought to be happening is that the company pays you to wear and advertise their product. Fat chance. froggyintexas

I wouldn't probably buy it but if I did love the pannel I would cover it somehow.

I'd applique something over the logo.
