On removing the embossed logo, I have had a decent amount of success with the following:
Get a steam iron and a towel, and do this in bathroom or kitchen
Turn on iron to steam at cotton (or other high equivalent) setting.
Place towel over embossed bit on boot
Press steam iron on area for around 1-2 minutes
Remove towel and let "air" a couple moments
Go to bathroom or kitchen sink and turn on hot tap water (let it get really hot)
Run embossed area under water 1-2 minutes
Dry with towel, applying uniform pressure
Repeat process around 5 times (may take more times)
