Is the logo affected by stripping the blade?

I want to strip my 16 but I'm not sure if the coating will be messed up. I'm going to do no sanding at all.
 
Stripping the blade removes the coating.

On the older blades with roll stamped logos, it doesn't affect the logo.

On the newer blades with laser etched logos, it effectively removes the logo, leaving a faint ghost image.

To retain the laser etched logo, it is easy to etch the logo deeper BEFORE stripping. But after stripping, it' a PITA.
