Okay I just set the color mode from "vivid" to "normal" and now I can see the logo. Cool!


Fyi, never, ever use a monitor/TV in "vivid" setting. It sets the brightness, contrast and backlight settings to absurd values and clips a whole bunch of colors on the low and high luminance ranges resulting in a severely restricted dynamic range. A byproduct of this is that regular images appear super saturated and "vivid". Also, if you have an OLED or Plasma, vivid mode will almost certainly accelerate screen burn-in (I've even seen this happen on LCD TVs).


Thanks for the tip friend!

Actually I'm a hobby photographer, and I generally favor accurate color representation over any other special color modes. I do remember playing around with the settings when I got my phone and I think I just forgot to switch the color mode back to normal from vivid.
