Acetone. Any of the large home supply places should carry different sizes. Of course nail polish remover is acetone based too. I had one I soaked in it did a few minutes and came off with very little elbow grease. Or more cautious would be apply with a soaked rag.

Acetone worked on mine but it took a LOT longer than I expected if I remember correctly. It always does.

Why would you use oven cleaner, which is mostly sodium hydroxide, over acetone?

We have used acetone to remove graphics on stems and bars. I do leave the recommended torque settings on the stems so I don't have to remember these things!

Fingernail polish remover does a good job.

The forum search on removing logo from stem yielded this thread, and whaddya know, even the same brand. However updated design. I'm considering removing, though not sure if I have any acetone sitting around. Would GooGone work on something like this?

I will say that the Easton stem has one of the nicer, low-key logos that you'll see on a stem.

I doubt that GooGone would be effective here. Acetone/nail polish remover is the way to go.

That being said, referring to the photo of the older Easton model above: I was able to easily remove the logos from the sides of the stem, but was unable to remove the logo from the faceplate. Not sure why(?). In any event I took the easy way out and used a Sharpie on the front.
