How to remove fusion glued logos from our ionized aluminium cameras?

We had our logo glued by fusion on our black ionized aluminium cameras (silk screening). How do we remove the logo without damaging the aluminium?
Thank you for answering with your tips or a product we can buy for the removal.

My guess is that you would probably need to paint over the logo and then silk screen another logo on it. By ionized, I assume that you mean anodized and black dyed.
The paint has at least partially gone into the anodize, so mechanical removal means will not work. Chemical methods are nasty and would probably damage the dye.
