Cool. I like my bar tape low key as well, but i also appreciate the nod to marginal gains with the logo.
On the tape thickness topic... why not just do a tighter wrap of the solid version if you dislike the logo but want more diameter/padding? Mind you, for marginal gains aero reasons, I have that choice because i do not tape the tops of my road bike bars (too much time in the tops and you are losing!!!).
At the moment i am using Tessa tape on my road bike. Basically a very light wiring harness tape that has zero padding, but feels damn soft on the hands. Starts to get fuzzy quickly, but three rolls is 5$ or so. Saves me a key 60g on my weight weenie road bike. And with everything being carbon, i have yet to miss the padding. Mind you, it is a bit skinny in the sprints, but i am usually more focused on the feeling that i am about to pop anyway...
