    Don't know if that is possible, but I have a 110mm superleggero stem for selling. PM me if interested.

    You could try careful rubbing with nail varnish remover, but I don't know how good a job it would do or whether it will also strip the black paint.

    Simplest way would be to go over it with permanent marker. Sounds tacky but it can look very effective if done carefully.

    Or respray the whole thing?

    if the stem is anodized alloy and the unwanted logo/whatever is pain/lacquer, try solvents like acetone

    do a test on a 'hidden' area of the stem first to check the finish you want is not affected

    If you want a proper job, strip all the paint off and respray. Even if you can remove the logo with acetone/whatever without damaging the underlying paint there will nearly always be a ghost of the logo remaining.
