Yes, at the resolution of LDRAW, the logo would show up as stray pixels of high
contrast, and not look good at all. But in photographs/rendering, having those
logos makes all the difference in the world. It's IMHO the reason MegaBlocks
always look worse than LEGO.
If one wanted the logo to appear in LDLite, the best solution would be
beveled letters, formed from slanted
polygons above the top of the stud, since they would catch the light
at a different angle, and create only a small change in the shading.
