Rickenbacker! I'm surprised nobody has mentioned them 3 pages into this thread.

Alembic is probably my second favorite. F Bass, Fodera, and D'Angelico are honorable mentions.

Okay, I’ll do it!

Always loved The Alembic logo - and the more inlaid abalone, precious metals and diamonds the better! Not that I'll ever have one, mind!

Old Skool Kool...

Lots of good ones mentioned already! As one of TB's resident Godin fans, I'll give a shoutout to a few of headstock logos in the Godin family.

I'm a big fan of the larger Godin wordmark on some of their more recent electric guitars and basses. It really pops. I especially like the white with black outline version of it.

Some folks don't like the Seagull headstock shape, but I do. The Seagull script and bird logo are nice. I don't have one currently but I will eventually own a Seagull S6 again someday.

I also think the Godin signature logo on their classical guitars is quite sharp.

I'm partial to the '78-'82 Fender logos.

 

[Hot Rats]

I gotta go with the Fender precision TV logo.

I always dug Tobias.

Not really a logo, but an integral part of the design - no chance of decal replacement here:

as played by Mick before adopting the Wal bass:

I’ve always loved those and think the heart tuners are the perfect touch .

Bonus: a couple of the many earlier Mayones logos. Sorry for the guitar content, but, well, searching through lots of photos trying to find a specific old logo on a bass is tiring, and there's at least one other one I can't find that I know I've seen on basses.

This one's got a similar M to the modern one.

This I've seen on basses dated around 1990-91.

Note the "new way of traditional" which is not quite "if you are a false do not entry" but also old-school metal English.
