There were posts about this before....
I think some techs have a gold crayon type of thing to fill in the lettering again.

Ferree's Tools sells the Buffet crayon, and the Selmer crayon.
Most repair techs would have the crayon, and could probably (for a nominal fee) do it for you...GBK

IMHO
Let the logo wear off! It'll look very professional. I don't know any of the great players here in NYC who still have the gold logo on their horn (except for a few new clarinets, here & there).
Funny story:
An old time great player years ago, had Murray Snyder, then at Carl Fisher in NYC, overhaul his clarinet. Murray did good work and everyone used him in NYC, but Murray had his own way of doing things, so to finish off the complete overhaul, he gold-crayoned the Buffet logo. The old pro hit the roof when he saw it! Now his clarinet looked like he never played it, and he said all the guys would kid him about it on the next gig, so rub it out again!
Murray did, and that was the last time Murray used the crayon without first asking permission.
Have fun with your horn,
JJM

Unfortunately there are several top makers who now apply the logo to the surface rather than embedding it into the surface. Of course it will wear off, and leave no trace. If there is no embedding then no gold crayon or anything else will restore the logo.
This seems representative of the pride that manufacturers no longer take in the quality of their product.

The trade mark crayon that is for sale through Feree's, Allied or elsewhere is jus an oil based paint crayon. An art supply shop will also have oil based paint crayons and whats more in a variety of colours. You could restore your logo in pink, purple or green for an added touch.
