You mean the manufacturer's logo?
Go to Brownells and search for "fill in paint"
It is like a big, oily crayon. You scribble over the logo, filling in all the engraving. Then you get a rag with some mineral oil on it and wipe off the excess. This leaves your logos filled in and your cool points higher.

You will enjoy the gold inlay kit immensely, just have adequate ventilation as I beleive the re-agent used is methylene chloride based. And always cap the liquid as it will evaporate quite readily. It takes a couple of layers to get it right, so be patient and work on a small area at first. I probably wasted half of what I actually needed just getting the feel of how to work with the stuff. It definitely makes crayons obsolete, IMHO. Fun to work with too.

I did my M&P a few years ago with a white crayon on the M&P logo on the slide. It stayed on there better than a thought it would. It was easily removed with a tooth pick.

I used Brownells 23Kt. Gold Inlay Kit with great success, Stock#200-023-000AB. It does'nt melt off like crayons when it gets hot. I even used it on the barrel of a rifle that I bump-fire every now and then, and it is still in the inlays.
