Oh, i thought he was talking about the airline logos under the plane, as both of the pics feature logos under the plane. It actually seems that the Model Company Logo has gotten smaller over time. Historically, the logo under the plane in GJ Releases was decently sized. but it has gotten smaller. (i say this as i own a GJ El Al 707)

My gemini 777s logo on the bottom is barely noticeable but it would be useful to show people who arent in the hobby what a gemini jet is

I don't mind 'em but yeah, I'd rather not have them if I was given the choice

I like them, I think it's a charming tradition. But, yes, it does get in the way when the model also has relevant elements of the livery on the belly.
But these are airplane models. Gemini's slogan refers to the high amount of precise detailing these models have, but they are all scale replicas at the end of the day. If one is to take that statement so literally then I'd argue that the windows are completely wrong, as they look like painted grey squares don't the fuselage, when in reality they are clear.

I don't mind them but I prefer when they're small. Early Geminis had them too big, for example.

Let's be serious Jorge.
There's a BIG difference between the technical feasibility of certain details and totally superfluos detailings like having the makers logo on the model.

Of course, I know...
Now seriously, going back to the main topic, omitting the manufacturer's logo will the livery more realistic. But still, I think there is merit to having some sort of manufacturer identification on the model. Can the box fulfill this purpose? I suppose.
Genuine opinion on my part. In fact, when I customize, I add my initials to the belly of the model.
This Servivensa Super 27 has my initials, and Nick Webb's name (the owner of Classic Airliners decals, he includes that decal with his name in his sets)

The great majority will not like the logos. I think we could do without them. It’s not like you can’t distinguish a GJs over an AC anyway. Used to think that Phoenix’s logo was pretty discreet, with just a few lines. Gemini’s was much bigger until their more recent releases got smaller branding. Is is much better, but even better is no branding.
