First off, thanks to @rishio for sparking such an interesting discussion and to everyone who has posted their experience/preferences around logos. As always, it's helpful for us to hear about what works for you and what you'd like to be different.
To be honest, we haven't truly considered the Velcro approach because it just doesn't feel like our thing, if that makes sense. And, because of that, I don't think we'd offer a specific design/bag with a Velcro patch. That said, maybe we'll come up with something else that does feel like our thing and gives you some options.
See here for a photo of a Synapse with its label removed and the exposed drill holes (used to align the label during sewing) visible:

Removing the label won't damage the bag unless you're kinda going wild with the thread snips or scissors you're using to snip the label threads. It will expose those two drill holes, but that's it.
And it's totally possible to sew your own patch on one of our bags: https://www.instagram.com/p/BCa0iK9A9BY/
I won't say it's easy or quick, but it's a nice thing to do on a summer evening while sitting outside and relaxing![]()
I've got some new patches to sew on to my Yeoman, maybe we'll do a little video about that.
As far as aligning the our logo patch: those drill holes help a lot to ensure it's as straight as possible. Still, it's a human process, and there could be some slight variation. The way that variation is perceived by our eyes is also impacted by the fabric, the way it was cut, and where the label is in relation to other visual landmarks of the bag.
